Webinar on taxation and gender

September 26, 2023, En ligne

Webinar organized by the French Inter-ministry Exchange and Coordination Platform on the Mobilisation of Domestic Public Resources (MRIP).

This conference highlights gender bias and inequality in the tax system. However, recognizing and addressing these gender biases in policy-making can lead to more equitable tax systems and potentially foster positive economic impacts, benefiting both formal and informal sectors. 

The panel brought together researchers and practitioners working on these issues, offering a comprehensive perspective that spans both the academic and operational realms. 

The French platform for interministerial exchange and coordination on the mobilisation of domestic public resources (MRIP) provides information and coordination for French operators as part of the implementation of the French strategic investment plan for development (PISD).
