ABSTRACT: This paper uses the statistical data from 1997 to
2015 to calculate the female human capital stock in Guangdong Province, and
empirically analyzes the
contribution rate of female human capital to Guangdong’s output and its
comparison with men. At the same time, it empirically analyzes the contribution
of female human capital stocks at different levels to Guangdong’s economic
growth, studies the correlation between women’s education levels and economic
growth, and examines the differences in the impact of male and female human
capital on economic growth. The research results show that female human capital
is an important factor affecting Guangdong’s economic growth. Male human
capital has a greater impact than female human capital. Female human capital at
different educational levels has different effects on economic growth. In order
to promote economic and social development, we should increase the awareness of
gender equality and strengthen the attention and investment in women’s human
capital.
