International Journal of Economics and Finance, 2017, vol. 9, issue 9, 137-146

Abstract: We develop a simple overlapping generations model to show how an increased level of female labour force participation(FLFP) could add to GDP and also make society, especially, women and children better off in the long run. It will also enumerate some of the reasons behind the gender gap in employment and suggest ways to overcome the gap.
