Determining the Three Major Factors Affecting Gender Equality: Evidence from 20 OECD Countries

In an era of integrated regional and international cooperation, gender equality, particularly female participation and contribution empowerment, has emerged as a top priority among OECD countries. Recently, it has been explicitly recognized as one of the most critical indicators for assessing the sound and sustainable development of societies. The study conducted a holistic review themed gender status under the guideline of PRISMA statement 2020, along with the statistics datasets correlated with gender equality, especially in the three major factors demonstrated at the aspects of adolescent birth rate, the share of seats in parliament, and labor force participation rate across OCED countries. Furthermore, the study intends to employ comparative analysis to generate a microscope for the future research concerning gender studies and provide more pragmatical implementations for those countries lagging to achieve female’s success in a more complex national and global atmosphere, while fulfilling the gap of gender inequality to attain a relatively comprehensive development constituted by male and female.
