Abstract:

Today, the relationship between women's economic empowerment and the level of economic and social growth is well established. In fact, the majority of studies that have been carried out in the context of female poverty and gender inequality have revealed the existence of a positive and very strong correlation between the level of empowerment of women and economic growth. These studies most often use statistical tools to analyze this relationship. Among these studies, we find the one conducted in 2012 by the American research firm Booz and Company and on the Third Billion Index. The objective of our work is to use this tool to understand the nature of this relationship in Morocco.
