Recently the World Bank has released a “Gender Action Plain” in order to mobilize women economically with the assumption that women promote growth in the economy. By oppressing and discriminating against women, nations’ are limiting their human resources to only half the population, which is simply “bad economics”. According to the article, women are more fiscally responsible and fair. When men are in charge of the finances, they are more likely to distribute the money unequally between male and female children and not properly supporting the females. They are also more likely to spend a greater amount of the money on tobacco or alcohol than women are. It’s a commonly known fact that when it comes to decision making, women are always more thoughtful and rational than men. Liberating women is not only good for humanity and the environment but also the economy.
