The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #5 is “Achieve Gender Equality and Empower All Women and Girls.” The panel will look at the ways in which tax policy and administration can either help or hinder efforts to achieve gender equality.
Specific challenges include women’s role as second earners, and their participation in the informal economy, especially in developing countries. The panel will also discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated gender imbalances, and how pandemic relief measures might be structured to advance gender equality.
