While women make up just over half the worldwide population, a recent studydetermined that they account for only 37% of measured global GDP. But make no mistake, today’s women are working–just not as consistently as men in the type of work that factors into GDP. In addition to formal jobs, women do 60% of the unpaid work, such as child and elderly care, shopping, and household tasks that allow society to run smoothly. In the U.S., if household production were properly accounted for in national income accounts, this work alone would amount to 26% of GDP.
女性占据着超过一半的世界人口数量,一项近期研究显示,他们在全球GDP测评值中只占有37%的份额。但是不容忽略的是,如今女性都在工作——只是不像男人那样从事着持续性的工作,因而可以算入对GDP的考量。除了正是工作之外,女性还承担着60%无薪资的工作,比如养育孩子,照顾老人,采购,处理家务,保证着社会的正常运行。在美国,假设家庭事务的处理被合理的计算入国民收入核算,仅这一工作就可以换算成26%的GDP。
The Citi GPS report tells the story of women as a powerful, often untapped driver of economic growth. The research has far-reaching potential to raise awareness of the issues and ultimately shift public policy. The numbers are, in fact, staggering: Countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) could see as much as a 20% leap in GDP if female involvement in the economy was raised to that of men.
