The data shows GDP per capita forecasts from the EIGE (2017) study on the "Economic Benefits of Gender Equality in the European Union".
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita at constant 2014 prices refers to the level of gross domestic product expressed in terms of the price level of the base year 2014.
The figures for each year are the percentage differences between the GDP per capita forecasted under each scenario and the GDP per capita forecasted under the baseline scenario.
The baseline scenario assumes that no additional improvements in gender equality will be achieved beyond what could be expected based on recent historical trends.
The data is presented according to five pathways. The term ‘pathway’ refers to a certain gender inequality, for which at least a theoretical link to macroeconomic performance has been established in the literature. For each pathway there is a 'slow progress scenario' and 'rapid progress scenario'.
