In addition to the answers provided to these questions, the Team of the Project “The Social and Economic Benefits of Equal Pay between Women and Men (Gender Pay Gap Elimination - GPG_E)” lays emphasis on the conclusion that the elimination of the gender pay gap would contribute to a significant improvement in terms of the monetary poverty indicators, especially for single-parent households. Equal pay for women and men would also contribute to a higher economic growth - an increase of GDP per capita, translated into a growth in GDP of 7,56 billion euros.
