In this study, the role of participation in women’s labour force in ensuring economic growth was studied. The study conducted absolute and conditional approach analysis covering the period 1990-2013 for high-income countries and high-mediate-income countries.  According to the analysis, in both groups of countries, the income per person has increased throughout the process, i.e. the absolute proximity.  The results of the conditional approach analysis also show that women’s participation in labour has a positive impact on economic growth in high-income countries, while women’s participation in high-income countries has a negative impact. As a result, it was necessary to develop policies to increase women’s participation in the labour force in order for high-income countries to rise to the high-income countries class.
