Armenia is progressing in closing the gender gap by ensuring: equal school enrollment at primary and secondary levels; more women studying in some STEM fields at universities (54 percent of mathematics major is women); notable fraction (26 percent) of women working in higher-skilled professions (men 13 percent), increased women's representation in national and local politics (36 percent of women in the National Assembly and 29 percent in Council of Elders); and achieving gender parity in labor force participation alone could increase the level of Armenia's gross domestic product (GDP) by 4 to 6 percent.
