dc.description.abstract	Gender as an interdisciplinary concept refers to women and men, the relations between them, and the institutions that govern these relationships. However, most of the literature on gender focuses on women and girls and the factors that affect their socioeconomic outcomes. For a long time, a commitment to promoting gender equality in economic outcomes, as in other areas of social development and human rights, has emphasized women's empowerment. There is evidence that expanding woman's opportunities - in particular health, education, earnings, rights, and political participation - drives down gender inequality and accelerates development. In developed countries women are also considered to be responsible of the reduction in economic gender disparities. Despite important advances towards equality, differences in the socioeconomic outcomes of men and women still persist both in the developing and developed world. Recently, policy makers and social scientists have begun to emphasize the role and responsibility of men and boys in promoting gender equality.	en
