This chapter analyzes women's contributions to economic growth, emphasizing labor force participation, entrepreneurship, wage equity, and education. It underscores the obstacles encountered by women, such as gender pay disparities, unpaid caregiving responsibilities, and restricted access to leadership positions. The chapter examines legislative measures, corporate strategies, and international frameworks that facilitate gender-inclusive economic growth. Case studies from prominent economies like Sweden, Iceland, and Rwanda exemplify optimal strategies for attaining gender equality in labor markets. Through the implementation of gender-responsive policies and workplace reforms, society can fully leverage women's potential as economic contributors, promoting sustainable and inclusive development within the global economy. ## Keywords - Workforce - Leverage (statistics) - Legislature - Economic growth - Gender equality - Economics - Wage - Labour economics - Parental leave - Workforce development - Political science - Job creation - Unpaid work - Development economics - Sustainability - Sustainable development - Public policy - Business - Gender and development - Work (physics) - Gender mainstreaming - Minimum wage - Developed country --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
