The Policy Research Working Paper 10425, titled "Liberian Women Count: Evidence from a Macrosimulation of the Gender Dividend," examines the economic contributions of women in Liberia and the societal costs of excluding them. The study finds that women were responsible for 39% of market-based output produced annually in 2020, equivalent to US$1.08 billion, and contributed another US$530 million in non-tradable sources of production, such as housework and domestic chores. The research also highlights the importance of addressing gender inequality and promoting women's economic empowerment in order to maximize the potential of the Liberian economy.
