What are the most effective tools for creating economic growth? It’s a question that drives and plagues government officials and researchers alike, as an endless quest for increased growth dictates policies that touch all of our lives. From tax reform to trade policy, decisions on immigration, infrastructure and education, growth is what lies beneath it all. 什么是拉动经济增长最有效的方法？正是这个问题让那些政府官员，学者们上下求索，苦心寻觅。对经济增长的永恒追求决定着政府政策，而政策与我们每个人的生活都息息相关。从税制改革到贸易政策，从移民管控到基础设施建设、教育制度，在底层起决定性作用的都是经济增长。 But there is another powerful driver of economic growth that has long gone largely unrecognized: women’s economic empowerment. Commonly framed as a human rights or social issue, the conversation around women in the global workforce is now shifting towards the potentially explosive financial impact that increased gender equality could bring to both developed and emerging economies. 但是还有一种强大的经济增长引擎，长期以来一直被大多数人忽视：女性推动经济的力量。女权主义的发展过去一直被认为是人权问题或社会问题，如今人们的关注点越来越转向世界劳动力市场中女性所具有的促成经济爆发式增长的影响力，无论是对发达国家还是发展中国家。 |
