“…Second, Vásconez Rodríguez's research in Peru demonstrates that the enactment of gender mainstreaming policies in the labor market correlates to the country's GDP gain of 4. 7% in 2007(Vásconez Rodríguez, 2018. Third, Altuzarra et al (2021) discovered in their research that gender imbalance in the education sector impedes economic growth.…”

Gender mainstreaming is an important subject to be mindful of in the Indonesian government’s development cooperation with bilateral development partners. Gender conflict is one of the obstacles that countries face when executing national and international development programs. Indonesia is one of the countries that uses a gender mainstreaming technique to incorporate gender problems into development initiatives. The establishment of a gender mainstreaming strategy (PUG) is vital in developing policies, particularly in carrying out bilateral development cooperation. This is significant for Indonesia as an endeavor to decrease inequality in the country, but Indonesia’s weak PUG is one of the country’s impediments to fulfilling national interests. One of the strategies undertaken by Indonesia to integrate gender mainstreaming into international development is through the Triangular South-South Cooperation Forum in order to form a strategic partnership with Afghanistan and Germany. Afghanistan is seen as a potential bilateral partner with aligned interests in promoting women’s empowerment and gender equality. Given that it is not only Indonesia that has national interests, the second-party countries must also have interests and conditions that are not always mutually agreed upon and might be detrimental to Indonesia. Therefore, the dynamics of bilateral cooperation between Indonesia and Afghanistan are interesting to identify, considering that GIZ, as the German representative, is present as a mediator bridging the partnership. Thus, this study aims to explain the strategy for gender mainstreaming in Indonesia’s international development cooperation with bilateral partners, which is also equipped with an analysis of the constraints that affect the outcome of the cooperation.

“…A growing literature documents the nexus between gender equality and economic output (Agénor & Canuto, 2015;Bertay et al, 2021;Eastin & Prakash, 2013;Kim et al, 2016;Klasen, 1999;Klasen & Lamanna, 2009;Mishra et al, 2020;Seguino, 2000;Vásconez Rodríguez, 2018). Klasen (2002) uses cross-country and panel regressions to examine the effect of gender inequality in education on longterm economic growth.…”

“…In recent years, an increased number of studies have debated the link between gender inequality and economic growth (Vásconez Rodríguez, 2018). The main theory is that the elimination of gender disparities can create a faster and stronger growth engine for more resilient, sustainable, and inclusive economies, especially with equality in education and the labour market (IMF, 2022).…”

“…Studies in several countries and regions have found that gender equality is a key determinant of economic growth, including in Asia, Brazil, and the United States of America (USA) (Bertay et al, 2021;Eastin & Prakash, 2013;Kim et al, 2016;Klasen, 2002;Klasen & Lamanna, 2009;Mishra et al, 2020;Seguino, 2000;Usman & Lestari, 2018;Vásconez Rodríguez, 2018). However, to the best of the author's knowledge, studies that assess the role of gender equality in promoting economic output in D-8 countries are still limited.…”

Low Equality for Women, Slower Economic Growth for All? Evidence from D-8 Countries

Gender equality promotes economic improvement and reduces income inequality. Considering the goal of all countries to achieve faster and stronger economic growth, improving gender equality may represent a promising solution. This paper examines the link between gender equality and economic growth in the ‘Developing Eight’ (D-8) countries from 1998 to 2021. This study provides estimation using a system GMM and panel causality test to determine the effect of gender equality on economic growth. The results indicate a positive and significant effect of gender equality on economic output in D-8 countries. Heterogenous panel non-causality findings suggest that gender equality and economic output have a bidirectional relationship in D-8 countries, indicating that economic output also affects gender equality.

“…According to Table 2 , the total set of data table in our research comprised a sample of 932 observations, which indicated the suitability for adopting Panel Vector Auto-regression model. Besides, the above data summary table demonstrates that the standard deviation is smaller than the mean value, which is suitable for further data analysis [ 37 , 58 , 59 ].…”

The wide application of various energy resources in economic development is allegedly responsible for deepening environmental deterioration in terms of increasing pollution emissions and other negative consequences including climate change. This current work investigates the interdependent correlation between energy consumption (both fossil fuel energy consumption and renewable energy consumption) and economic complexity among Lancang-Mekong Cooperation (hereafter LMC) countries, from 1991 to 2017. As for empirical analysis, a panel vector autoregression (PVAR) model was employed. Outcomes of this research confirm the existence of a unidirectional relationship between energy consumption and economic complexity index. It is verified that renewable energy usage is a possible alternative to traditional energy and is able to increase economic complexity. This current research proposed to contribute as a pioneering exploration on LMC countries by adding original observations into existing studies. Finally, we will discuss policy implications of this work.
