Sumario:[eng] Despite the abundance of theories and evidence, addressing key questions about the existence and drivers of gender gaps remains essential: Where do gender gaps exist? Why do they persist? Which factors contribute to their perpetuation? How can we effectively mitigate them? This dissertation aims to enhance our understanding of gender gaps and their underlying causes to inform policy formulation. Comprising three chapters, the thesis contributes to two strands of research in gender economics. The first strand examines gender differences in economic outcomes in both developed and developing countries. The second strand delves into drivers of gender disparity, specifically exploring factors contributing to their formation and evolution.
