- Abstract
This paper focuses on whether trends in the world economy have had an impact on gender inequality resulting in income inequality between men and women. This paper is examining which variables are significant causes of the existence of the gender income gap, in the context of negative world economic growth and the impact of Covid-19. To study these factors, the paper also uses a large amount of data from the HDR (Human Development Reports), discussing the means and regression analysis of the variables, for example, average schooling year and unemployment rate. The regression model is optimized by removing insignificant variables, and the influence of these dependent variables on wage difference is analyzed according to the regression data. Ultimately the paper concludes that at a time when the world economy is trending in a negative direction, rising unemployment rates are going to have a greater impact on the income inequality between men and women in the world than past few years. Specifically, it is causing the income gap to become even larger in the face of the already unequal income between men and women.
