Women's position in the economy and their general well‐being in all other spheres of life depend heavily on the type of society in which they reside. Historically, in various cultures, women have been excluded from economic opportunities by various restrictions being placed on their full participation in the workforce. In addition, women contribute, disproportionately to men, to unpaid carework. In recent years, the bridging of the gender gap has come to the forefront of international and national forums and policies, and the important role that women play in the economy has been given greater weight. This entry examines the place of women in the economy and changes to it over the years
