Abstract

The issue of gender equality is an essential topic in the whole world, and promoting gender equality is of great significance to economic development. The aim of this study is to explore the link between the social participation rate of women in Germany and economic development. The study uses the German female political participation rate, the German female labor force participation rate, and the German female primary and secondary school enrollment rate to represent the female social participation rate and uses GDP data to represent the German economic development. The study uses a ridge regression model for analysis. The result shows a long-term relationship between female labor force participation, primary and secondary school enrollment, and economic growth. Specifically, the female labor force participation rate positively correlates with economic growth, while the female primary and secondary school enrollment rate negatively correlates with economic growth. As for the female political participation rate, the current data shows that it has no apparent relationship with the long-term development of the German economy.
