Case Study on Gender equality in Australia 3Section 1: Introduction 1. a. IntroductionThe gender gap is the difference between the salary of men and that of women (Bekhouche ey al., 2013). The gender gap is attributed to not only discrimination in hiring but also the different industries which women and men work among others. Gender equality has been a major case of discussion by many people across different fields globally (Grown et al., 2005). According to Schwab (2017), the gender biases been experienced across the different field in the economy are keeping the mass from closing the gender gap thereby causing an overwhelming of the economy.The following research aims at finding the relationship between the gender gap and the GDP. Thus the arising research question:What is the a relationship between gender gap and the GDPThe research is necessitated by the fact that closing the gender gap is vital for policymaking and development (World Bank, 2012). According to Revenga and Shetty (2012), gender equality is vital for enhancing economic productivity, improving the outcomes of development for future generations, and making institutional and policies more representative. Momsen (2009), states that progress is a course which expands freedom similarly for all the people both female and male. Thus, closing gender equality improves economic productivity and improves other outcomes of development (Hausmann, 2009). The net impact of gender inequality on growth is quite ambiguous. In some way, gender inequality is attributed to hindering growth or support growth circumstantially (Galor and Moav, 2004). Income and wages rapidly affect and bring about changes in aggregate demand. In the long-run, benefits of gender-equal opportunities in labor, education, and health are more efficient than the pervasive gender inequality seeing today (Booth and Bennett, 2002). Thus, conversion of gender equality creates opportunities for equal outcomes.

The following research will, therefore, endeavor to determine whether gender inequality has an economic impact. Thus, this provides a guide for the researcher to determine if indeed there is a relationship between gender gap and the GDP.1.b. Dataset 1 descriptionDataset 1 is a dataset specifically assigned to the undersigned researcher. The dataset entails an individual sample file from 2013 to 2014 that was obtained from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Thus, the dataset can be described as secondary in nature.The dataset entails four variables; gender, occ_code, Sw_amt, and Gift_amt. The characteristics of the variables are as shown in the table below: Table 1: Variable descriptionVariableDescriptionValuesTypeGenderGender (sex)Female or MaleDichotomousOcc_codeSalary/wage occupationcode0 = Occupation not listed/Occupation not specified1 = Managers2 = Professionals3 = Technicians and Trades Workers4 = Community and Personal Service Workers5 = Clerical and Administrative Workers6 = Sales worker7 = Machinery operators and drivers8 = Laborers9 = Consultants, apprentices and type not specified or not listedDichotomousSw_amtSalary/wage amountAll numericContinuousGift_amtGifts or donation deductionsAll numericContinuous
