Abstract

Gender equality as an economic imperative, globally as well as contextually, gives research the much-needed direction for ensuring tangibility in terms of outcomes. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and subsequent and current actionable Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have used indicators and targets to provide the metrics for informed commitment and accountability. Global averages do not always reflect actual situations; for instance, in the case of the MDGs, where Goal 3 appeared to have been substantially achieved, a closer look showed that the African countries were left far behind (Michael & Todd, 2005). A closed gender gap may seem too aspirational at the moment, but the full potential estimate of GDP growth of 26% (adding $28 trillion by 2025) for the world is too attractive for economies to ignore. The McKinsey Global Institute’s report predicts a high relative growth for both India and Latin America (McKinsey & Company, 2015) if gender parity is achieved. The research links gender equality in society with gender equality in work. This interrelationship is important as a subject of research in regional social contexts so that support mechanisms could be provided locally or regionally to create conditions for the attainment of gender parity.

新兴的性别平等和包容概念：现在就整合和应用

性别平等作为一项经济当务之急，无论是在全球还是在背景下，都为研究提供了急需的方向，以确保结果的有形性。千年发展目标（MDGs）以及后续和当前可操作的可持续发展目标（SDGs）使用指标和具体目标来提供知情承诺和问责制的衡量标准。全球平均数并不总是反映实际情况；例如，在千年发展目标的情况下，目标3似乎已经基本实现，仔细观察就会发现非洲国家远远落后（Michael和Todd，2005）。目前，缩小性别差距似乎太令人向往了，但对全球GDP增长26%（到2025年将增加28万亿美元）的全部潜在估计对经济体来说太有吸引力了，不容忽视。麦肯锡全球研究所的报告预测，如果实现性别平等，印度和拉丁美洲的相对增长率都会很高（麦肯锡公司，2015年）。这项研究将社会性别平等与工作性别平等联系起来。这种相互关系是区域社会背景下研究的一个重要主题，因此可以在当地或区域提供支持机制，为实现性别平等创造条件。《印度性别研究杂志》29（2）222–2282022©2022 CWDS转载和许可：in.sagepub.com/journals-permissions-india DOI:10.1177/09715215221082186 journals.sagepub.com/home/igg

期刊介绍： The Indian Journal of Gender Studies is geared towards providing a more holistic understanding of society. Women and men are not compared mechanically. Rather, gender categories are analysed with a view to changing social attitudes and academic biases which obstruct a holistic understanding of contributions to the family, community and a wider polity. The journal focuses, among other issues, on violence as a phenomenon, the social organisation of the family, the invisibility of women"s work, institutional and policy analyses, women and politics, and motherhood and child care.
