Description This study explores the existence of relationships between genderinequalities –represented by the components of the World Economic Forum (WEF)Global Gender Gap Index– and the major macroeconomic indicators. Therelationships within gender inequalities in education, the labour market, health andthe political arena, and between gender inequalities and gross macroeconomicaggregates were modelled with the Bayesian Causal Map, an effective tool that is usedto analyze cause-effect relations and conditional dependencies between variables. Adata set of 128 countries during the period 2007–2011 is used. Findings reveal thatsome inequalities have high levels of interaction with each other. In addition,eradicating gender inequalities is found to be associated with better economicperformance, mainly in the form of higher gross domestic product growth, investment,and competitiveness.
