This paper highlights the weak potential of economic growth and increasing women’s economic participation towards eliminating gender inequalities in incomes and wages, unless supported by concerted efforts at altering attitudes towards women’s roles and contribution that are harboured by different agents within the labour markets. The discrimination and biases against women witnessed in social spheres gets mirrored on to economic spaces not only through direct, legitimate routes but also via the resilience in perceptions and mindsets among the agents of the labour markets that reconfigure to retain elements of gender imbalances. The space for unbiased consideration and gender based comparison is not only constricted by data inadequacies but is nullified due to the perceptions derived from the patriarchal role stereotyping that precedes any deliberation on women’s contribution to the economy, necessitating the recognition of these elements as precursors to such analysis on gender inequalities.
