This paper by UN Women explains how alternative policies to promote gender equality are likely to have different effects on the various metrics of gender equality, such as differentials in employment rate and unpaid care work. Further, these effects are prone to vary across social groups. The paper argues that alternative financing approaches will generate distinct macroeconomic impacts, especially concerning debt sustainability, which in turn affects distributional outcomes. To address this, the paper develops a policy model to assess the impacts of different interventions based on their objectives, target groups, and financing mechanisms. By applying this model with relevant data, the paper aims to illuminate the effects on various economic performance indicators and gender equality measures, including employment growth and the gendered division of housework.
