Gender equality policies have a strong impact on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) - which reflects the living standards within the EU. By 2050, improving gender equality would lead to an increase in EU GDP per capita of 9.6%. This increase is mainly the result of improved employment rates of women and more STEM jobs.
On 8 - 9 June 2017, EIGE is in Berlin presenting its research on gender seggregation in training and the labour market. Segregation narrows employment choices and reinforces gender stereotypes. Therefore, the EU and the Member States must improve the existing gender equality measures to narrow the gender gap in STEM.

Mipango ya usawa wa kijinsia ina athari kubwa kwa Pato la Taifa (GDP) - ambayo huonyesha viwango vya maisha ndani ya EU. Kufikia mwaka 2050, kuboresha usawa wa kijinsia kutaongoza kwa ongezeko la Pato la Taifa la EU kwa mtu mmoja kwa 9.6%. Ongezeko hili ni hasa matokeo ya viwango vya kuboresha ajira ya wanawake na kazi zaidi STEM. Katika siku ya 8 na 9 Juni 2017, EIGE itawasilisha utafiti wake juu ya mgawanyiko wa kijinsia katika mafunzo na soko la kazi. Kutenganishwa kwa jamii hupunguza chaguzi za kazi na kuimarisha mitazamo ya kijinsia. Kwa hiyo, EU na nchi wanachama lazima kuboresha hatua zilizopo za usawa wa kijinsia ili kupunguza pengo la kijinsia katika STEM.
