Absent from the important debate on the
determinants of rapid Asian growth is
the role of gender inequality. This paper
argues that gender wage inequality has
stimulated growth, with Asian economies
that disadvantaged women the most growing
the fastest from 1975 to 1990. The findings
of this paper contrast with recent studies
that argue income equality at the household
level contributed favorably to Asian growth
by reducing political conflict.
