Abstract
This paper estimates the impact of structural reforms aimed at increasing the female participation rate on potential output in Malta. Albeit starting from a low level, the female participation rate in Malta increased by 11.7 percentage points between 2008 and 2014, by far the highest increase registered among EU countries
