本文探讨了性别平等在工业化国家长期经济和人口发展道路上的作用。我们统一的女性赋权气候增长模型表明，性别关系的变化是经济发展的关键因素。经济从技术进步缓慢、收入低、生育率低的马尔萨斯体制演变为生活水平高、生育率低的现代增长体制。技术进步的兴起，加上性别平等的改善，产生了一个积极的反馈循环，参与人力资本积累的过程（经济转型）并引发人口转型。
This paper explores the role of gender equality over a long-run economic and demographic development path of industrialized countries. Our unified cliometric growth model of female empowerment suggests that changes in gender relations are a key ingredient of economic development. The economy evolves from a Malthusian regime--with slow technological progress, low income and low fertility--to a Modern Growth regime, with high living standards and low fertility. The rise in technological progress, together with improvements in gender equality, generates a positive feedback loop that engages the process of human capital accumulation (economic transition) and triggers the demographic transition.
