As economic growth is one of the important macroeconomic goals, this has induced the researcher to investigate the relationship between them in Algeria. This study aimed mainly at investigating the impact of gender inequality in education on the economic growth in Algeria, using annual data covering the period from 1980 to 2014, in order to achieve this objective, an econometric model has been designed based on the economic theories and the published researches, using data obtained from the World Bank's (WB) and UNESCO websites.
