The world is experiencing an unprecedented set of crises with disproportionately negative impacts on women, girls, sexual and gender minorities, and marginalized groups.  Gender equality is a matter of fairness and justice, a foundation for a peaceful and prosperous world and essential for development. Yet achieving gender equality is uniquely challenging and complex. It calls for changes spanning country laws and policies, public and private sector activities, and personal lives. Growing evidence on the wide-ranging negative impacts of gender constraints, and on how to address them, can inspire and inform the way forward.</p><p>The <a href="https://documents1.worldbank.org/en/publication/documents-reports/documentdetail/099061124182033630"><strong>WBG Gender Strategy 2024-30</strong></a> puts forward the bold ambition to <strong>accelerate gender equality to end poverty on a livable planet</strong> in alignment with the <a href="https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/statement/2023/01/13/world-bank-group-statement-on-evolution-roadmap">World Bank Group Evolution Roadmap</a>.

For every dollar men make, women make 77 cents. Closing this gap can lead to sizeable gains for economies - an estimated 160 trillion dollars in global gross domestic product (GDP) per capita. A multitude of factors contributes to this gap and this note sheds light on some of the key drivers. Effective evidence-backed policy options to close the earnings gap include providing information on work opportunities and returns to employment, training in socio-emotional skills, imparting sector-specific technical skills to address occupational segregation and adopting pay-transparency laws. The World Bank Group actively supports countries to boost women’s access to better, high-quality jobs through development policy lending, advisory and analytical work, and supporting reforms to address constraining contextual factors. This note examines an array of policy options that are effective or show promise in closing gender gaps in earnings and offers some key takeaways.</p> </article></section> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="lp__accordion_wrapper"> <div class="lp__accordion_header"> <button type="button" class="lp__accordion_btn collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapse679227faf6cc4036a76fdcdf0a9fdd2a2" aria-expanded="false"><span>Increasing Access to Technology for Inclusion</span></button> </div> <div id="collapse679227faf6cc4036a76fdcdf0a9fdd2a2" class="collapse " data-bs-parent="#lp__accordion679227faf6cc4036a76fdcdf0a9fdd2a" style=""> <div class="lp__accordion_content"> <div class="accordian-content_1 parsys"><div class="redesign_static_content section">   <section > <article class="lp__body_content section " > <p><a href="https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/entities/publication/f87bf557-cf20-4ff5-8e16-9812730e7702"> <figure class='lp__body_content_sm_ver lp__body_left_img'><picture><source type=image/webp media=(min-width:768px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/Increasing-Access-to-Technology-for-Inclusion?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source media=(min-width:992px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/Increasing-Access-to-Technology-for-Inclusion?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source type=image/webp media=(min-width:320px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/Increasing-Access-to-Technology-for-Inclusion?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source media=(min-width:768px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/Increasing-Access-to-Technology-for-Inclusion?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><img src='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/Increasing-Access-to-Technology-for-Inclusion?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class='img-responsive' alt='Increasing Access to Technology for Inclusion' title='' id='fig_0be900d25ccc45dd83f3184510cd1c66_1'></picture></figure>Increasing Access to Technology for Inclusion</a></p><p>Digital technology has introduced innovative business models and changed how society operates. Through digital technology, access to services can be increased and more people can be reached, particularly those from underserved groups, such as women, people in rural communities and persons with disabilities. Yet, gaps in access to digital technology deepen inequalities and have social costs and economic implications. have lost out on $1 trillion in GDP due to the digital exclusion of women. (Alliance for Affordable Internet, 2021). Grounded in examples extracted from research and World Bank Group operations with client countries and clients in the private sector, this policy note presents interventions that aim to close the gaps in digital inclusion. These examples demonstrate that the public and private sectors have significant roles to play in ensuring digital technology reaches women, aligns with their needs, and strengthens their economic empowerment. This policy note provides impetus for the World Bank Group to continue strengthening its work on the digital inclusion of women and underserved groups.</p> </article></section> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="lp__accordion_wrapper"> <div class="lp__accordion_header"> <button type="button" class="lp__accordion_btn collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapse679227faf6cc4036a76fdcdf0a9fdd2a3" aria-expanded="false"><span>What Works in Supporting Women-led Businesses?</span></button> </div> <div id="collapse679227faf6cc4036a76fdcdf0a9fdd2a3" class="collapse " data-bs-parent="#lp__accordion679227faf6cc4036a76fdcdf0a9fdd2a" style=""> <div class="lp__accordion_content"> <div class="accordian-content_2 parsys"><div class="redesign_static_content section">   <section > <article class="lp__body_content section " > <p><a href="https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/handle/10986/38564"> <figure class='lp__body_content_sm_ver lp__body_left_img'><picture><source type=image/webp media=(min-width:768px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/What-Works-in-Supporting-Women-led-Businesses?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source media=(min-width:992px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/What-Works-in-Supporting-Women-led-Businesses?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source type=image/webp media=(min-width:320px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/What-Works-in-Supporting-Women-led-Businesses?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source media=(min-width:768px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/What-Works-in-Supporting-Women-led-Businesses?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><img src='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/What-Works-in-Supporting-Women-led-Businesses?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class='img-responsive' alt='What Works in Supporting Women-led Businesses?' title='' id='fig_f1ee9135b8b7432286f2918f257a8718_1'></picture></figure>What Works in Supporting Women-led Businesses?</a></p><p>The narrative among policymakers about women’s entrepreneurship is slowly shifting from encouraging the creation of a high number of startups to focusing on supporting women who are well positioned to lead growth-oriented enterprises.

Closing this gap can lead to sizeable gains for economies—a 20 percent increase in GDP per capita, on average. Female labor force participation (FLFP) remains low due to lack of skills, assets and networks, time-based constraints, limited mobility, gender discrimination in hiring and promotion, and restrictive gender norms. Effective evidence-backed policy options can increase FLFP. They include providing childcare services, disseminating information on work opportunities and returns to employment, training in socio-emotional skills, addressing norms by engaging partners and family members, and targeting women via social protection, safety net, and public-works programs. The World Bank Group actively supports countries in boosting FLFP through development policy lending, advisory and analytical work, and supporting reforms to address constraining contextual factors, including legal barriers, social norms, and gender-based violence.

By definition, attainment of SDG 5, gender equality, is impossible without women’s equal representation at the top. Women leaders are levers of change for all SDGs, as they prioritize social protections, health, education, climate, and inclusivity. Having more women in leadership is positively correlated with higher environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards, leading to improved business performance and inclusive economic growth. Yet, enormous gender gaps in corporate leadership persist. Globally, women hold only 19.7 percent of board seats, and 6.7 percent of board chair, 5 percent of CEO, and 15.7 percent of CFO positions. Unconscious and cultural biases, lack of opportunities, and other workforce barriers can limit women’s professional aspirations and narrow leadership paths. While direct cause-and-effect links cannot always be demonstrated, World Bank Group interventions that address the root causes of gender gaps in business leadership offer strong potential for progress. This note examines World Bank Group experience and provides several strategies that other programs can consider to accelerate the pace at which women ascend to senior leadership positions.</span></p> </article></section> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="lp__accordion_wrapper"> <div class="lp__accordion_header"> <button type="button" class="lp__accordion_btn collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapse679227faf6cc4036a76fdcdf0a9fdd2a7" aria-expanded="false"><span>Accelerating Gender Equality Through Reforming Legal Frameworks</span></button> </div> <div id="collapse679227faf6cc4036a76fdcdf0a9fdd2a7" class="collapse " data-bs-parent="#lp__accordion679227faf6cc4036a76fdcdf0a9fdd2a" style=""> <div class="lp__accordion_content"> <div class="accordian-content_6 parsys"><div class="redesign_static_content section">   <section > <article class="lp__body_content section " > <p><span><span> <figure class='lp__body_content_sm_ver lp__body_left_img'><picture><source type=image/webp media=(min-width:768px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/Accelerating-Gender-Equality-Through-Reforming-Legal-Frameworks-1?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source media=(min-width:992px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/Accelerating-Gender-Equality-Through-Reforming-Legal-Frameworks-1?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source type=image/webp media=(min-width:320px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/Accelerating-Gender-Equality-Through-Reforming-Legal-Frameworks-1?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source media=(min-width:768px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/Accelerating-Gender-Equality-Through-Reforming-Legal-Frameworks-1?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><img src='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/Accelerating-Gender-Equality-Through-Reforming-Legal-Frameworks-1?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class='img-responsive' alt='Accelerating Gender Equality Through Reforming Legal Frameworks' title='' id='fig_81c4c51618e043caaa8c00ce123de24c_1'></picture></figure></span><a href="https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/entities/publication/c3f4a2b5-0426-4f81-83ae-c4e4d112a9d2">Accelerating Gender Equality Through Reforming Legal Frameworks</a></span></p><p>This thematic note emphasizes the role of laws and regulations in safeguarding women’s economic opportunities, for the purpose of informing the update of the World Bank Group’s Gender Strategy.

to Accelerate Equality</a></p><p>The care economy is essential in daily life and a driver of economic growth, human capital development, and employment. Gender is a defining characteristic of the care economy. Women spend 3.2 times more time on unpaid care work than men and constitute the majority of the care workforce. Disproportionate unpaid care responsibilities and a lack of access to quality, accessible, affordable care services impede women’s economic participation and affect their overall well-being. Investments in the care sector are essential to accelerate equality and could generate up to 299 million jobs worldwide by 2035. Globally, the need for care services is high. Worldwide, 43 percent of all children below primary-school-entry age—350 million children—need childcare but do not have access to it. The need for eldercare is also growing as the population continues to age and face chronic health conditions. The World Bank actively supports countries in addressing this care crisis. This thematic policy note reviews many of the issues, evidence, and lessons learned.</p> </article></section> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="lp__accordion_wrapper"> <div class="lp__accordion_header"> <button type="button" class="lp__accordion_btn collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapse679227faf6cc4036a76fdcdf0a9fdd2a12" aria-expanded="false"><span>Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) Inclusion and Gender Equality</span></button> </div> <div id="collapse679227faf6cc4036a76fdcdf0a9fdd2a12" class="collapse " data-bs-parent="#lp__accordion679227faf6cc4036a76fdcdf0a9fdd2a" style=""> <div class="lp__accordion_content"> <div class="accordian-content_11 parsys"><div class="redesign_static_content section">   <section > <article class="lp__body_content section " > <p><span> <figure class='lp__body_content_sm_ver lp__body_left_img'><picture><source type=image/webp media=(min-width:768px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/SOGI-inclusion-and-gender-equality?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source media=(min-width:992px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/SOGI-inclusion-and-gender-equality?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source type=image/webp media=(min-width:320px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/SOGI-inclusion-and-gender-equality?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source media=(min-width:768px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/SOGI-inclusion-and-gender-equality?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><img src='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/SOGI-inclusion-and-gender-equality?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class='img-responsive' alt='SOGI inclusion and gender equality' title='' id='fig_61e8978d00114c2abb71c716e1f65787_1'></picture></figure><a href="https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/entities/publication/5850d068-639d-4cff-9b8c-7f44fc22e6c9">Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) Inclusion and Gender Equality</a></span></p><p>This note provides an overview of the situation of LGBTI people globally and why addressing discrimination against them and promoting their inclusion make economic sense as well as being the right thing to do.

The note highlights opportunities to advance SOGI inclusion through the three strategic objectives of the World Bank’s Gender Strategy update, namely ending gender-based violence and elevating human capital, expanding and enabling economic opportunities, and engaging women as leaders.

This note examines trends in girls’ education and spotlights interventions that support girls’ education. Key takeaways include the following: It is simply not enough to get girls into school. Efforts must ensure they stay in school, learn well, and are able to translate their schooling into future gains. Programs that focus on getting girls into school through scholarships, cash transfers, and stipends improve girls’ enrollment outcomes. Interventions that address additional challenges that girls face while in school, such as improving conditions for menstrual health and hygiene and reducing gender-based violence (GBV), make girls feel safe and included in schools. Teaching and learning-focused programs for girls, such as combating stereotypical gender norms in pedagogy, textbooks, and curriculum, help reduce gender-bias in schools and empower them to reach their full potential. It is important to strengthen the role of schools for adolescent girls’ empowerment and for shifting mindsets and norms by engaging girls and boys on issues pertaining to gender equality including on GBV, Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), and women’s economic participation.</p> </article></section> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="lp__accordion_wrapper"> <div class="lp__accordion_header"> <button type="button" class="lp__accordion_btn collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapse679227faf6cc4036a76fdcdf0a9fdd2a14" aria-expanded="false"><span>Addressing Gender-Based Violence to Accelerate Gender Equality</span></button> </div> <div id="collapse679227faf6cc4036a76fdcdf0a9fdd2a14" class="collapse " data-bs-parent="#lp__accordion679227faf6cc4036a76fdcdf0a9fdd2a" style=""> <div class="lp__accordion_content"> <div class="accordian-content_13 parsys"><div class="redesign_static_content section">   <section > <article class="lp__body_content section " > <p><span> <figure class='lp__body_content_sm_ver lp__body_left_img'><picture><source type=image/webp media=(min-width:768px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/IDU0cc2005700add304f2e0b62009a088534fc6e?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source media=(min-width:992px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/IDU0cc2005700add304f2e0b62009a088534fc6e?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source type=image/webp media=(min-width:320px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/IDU0cc2005700add304f2e0b62009a088534fc6e?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source media=(min-width:768px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/IDU0cc2005700add304f2e0b62009a088534fc6e?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><img src='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/IDU0cc2005700add304f2e0b62009a088534fc6e?wid=165&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class='img-responsive' alt='Addressing Gender-Based Violence to Accelerate Gender Equality' title='' id='fig_66d1b675d0b0439c871bef38cece867a_1'></picture></figure><a href="https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/entities/publication/bcbc3e3e-bbe9-464e-8ef5-59088f1231e9">Addressing Gender-Based Violence to Accelerate Gender Equality</a></span></p><p>Gender-based Violence (GBV) is the most egregious manifestation of gender inequality and an alarming global public health, human rights and development challenge.

Positive changes can emerge from crises, providing opportunities to reshape social norms and empower women. Achieving gender equality in these settings requires tailored approaches that consider local dynamics and involve influential non-state actors. The World Bank Group's experience suggests that partnerships, strengthened laws, and inclusive policies can enhance outcomes. Sustainable progress demands increased investment, innovation in data collection, and collaboration among governments, NGOs, and the private sector to address these complex challenges effectively.</p> </article></section> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="lp__accordion_wrapper"> <div class="lp__accordion_header"> <button type="button" class="lp__accordion_btn collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapse679227faf6cc4036a76fdcdf0a9fdd2a16" aria-expanded="false"><span>Achieving Gender Equity in Health: Key Areas of Focus Under Universal Health Coverage</span></button> </div> <div id="collapse679227faf6cc4036a76fdcdf0a9fdd2a16" class="collapse " data-bs-parent="#lp__accordion679227faf6cc4036a76fdcdf0a9fdd2a" style=""> <div class="lp__accordion_content"> <div class="accordian-content_15 parsys"><div class="redesign_static_content section">   <section > <article class="lp__body_content section " > <p><span> <figure class='lp__body_content_lg_ver lp__body_left_img'><picture><source type=image/webp media=(min-width:768px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/Achieving-gender-equality-in-health?wid=220&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source media=(min-width:992px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/Achieving-gender-equality-in-health?wid=220&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source type=image/webp media=(min-width:320px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/Achieving-gender-equality-in-health?wid=220&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><source media=(min-width:768px) srcset='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/Achieving-gender-equality-in-health?wid=220&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class=img-responsive><img src='https://worldbank.scene7.com/is/image/worldbankprod/Achieving-gender-equality-in-health?wid=220&qlt=85,0&resMode=sharp' class='img-responsive' alt='Achieving gender equality in health' title='' id='fig_20b0d37e244b44a68081832cd827b9ae_1'></picture></figure></span><a href="https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/entities/publication/c780ab68-60da-46d0-a5d1-c42f7f7bd0ab">Achieving Gender Equity in Health: Key Areas of Focus Under Universal Health Coverage</a></p><p>Gender significantly impacts health outcomes, influencing lifestyle, well-being, and healthcare access throughout a person’s life. Bridging gender gaps in health can enhance human capital and ensure equitable health opportunities for all sexes. Achieving gender equity in health necessitates a systematic approach across health systems, with universal health coverage (UHC) and integrated primary health care (PHC) services providing a crucial platform. Five priority investment areas are highlighted: comprehensive sexual, reproductive, adolescent, and maternal health services; healthcare coverage for older adults; gender equality in health leadership; mental health coverage under UHC; and reducing gender disparities in pandemic preparedness and emergency response. These investments can empower women, girls, and other gender identities, support healthy aging, improve mental health access, and ensure effective health leadership and pandemic response.</p>

Labor Markets</a></span></span></p><p>Significant gender gaps in labor force participation persist around the world. When women do work, they are much more likely than men to engage in vulnerable employment with lower earnings and worse working conditions. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has triggered larger losses in employment for women than for men across the globe. Several factors constrain women’s labor force participation and employment outcomes. On the supply side, time and mobility constraints and differences in endowments (skills, assets, and networks) limit women’s labor force participation and wages. On the demand side, discrimination in hiring and retention, lack of jobs with convenient features (childcare, maternity leave, flexible schedules), and skills mismatch are key constraints.

Women are more likely than men to be out of the labor force due to care responsibilities. When they work, women are more likely to have low-paying jobs in the informal sector. Moreover, women have lower access to financial services and other strategies to mitigate shocks. Social protection systems can enable women to cope with and adapt to economic shocks. In particular, adaptive social protection systems can help identify the differential needs of women to prepare support mechanisms and build the resilience of poor and vulnerable households before, during, and after large shocks like the COVID-19 pandemic occur. The GIL Federation is generating rigorous evidence around the world to understand what works, and what does not, in supporting women with social protection interventions.

However, girls still have lower expected years of schooling than boys in some regions, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, and boys have worse educational outcomes than girls in other countries, most notably in Latin America and the Caribbean. Barriers to the continuation of schooling for girls are linked to child marriage, early pregnancies, sexual harassment, and social norms around girls’ education. The COVID-19 pandemic has also impacted schooling of both girls and boys. The transition to remote learning hurt girls who often have fewer technical skills and less access to the internet than boys. In other cases, boys had higher economic opportunities than girls and were more likely to drop out from school in response to the economic stress generated by the pandemic.

Property rights play a critical role in determining who can own and access this fundamental resource. More than 70 percent of women across 53 developing countries do not own any land. Customary norms confer disproportionately weaker land rights to women, feeding into a cycle that limits their access to credit and other economic opportunities. Empowering women through stronger land rights can play a central role in the process of economic development. However, overturning existing cultural norms and power structures in the context of traditional (patriarchal) customary land tenure systems can be challenging. There are also concerns that such policy efforts could formalize, even exacerbate, existing gender gaps in land rights. The GIL Federation is generating rigorous evidence around the world to understand what works, and what does not, in increasing access to land titles for women and its effects on women’s empowerment.

Gender differences in agricultural productivity can be as high as 66 percent and can cost countries up to $105 million annually. Women farmers tend to produce lower output per unit of land than men farmers because of gender-specific constraints, such as unequal access to farm labor, agricultural inputs, lower literacy, childcare responsibilities, limited involvement in cash crop production, and lower participation in farmers’ groups. Women farmers are concentrated in the lower levels of agricultural value chains and are less likely to be active in commercial farming than men. Restrictive gender norms underlie occupational sex segregation in agriculture, leading women to concentrate in low-value crops. Research by the Africa GIL indicates that when women manage cash crop plots—and have access to the same inputs and resources as men—they are able to be as productive as their male counterparts. The GIL Federation is generating rigorous evidence around the world to understand what works, and what does not, in narrowing gender productivity gaps and helping farmers reach their potential.

In that year, women’s unpaid care work amounted to three-quarters of total unpaid care work, with an estimated value of 9 precent of global GDP. A pilot study by the MNA GIL in Egypt finds that, on average, mothers spent 11 hours per day on childcare and seven hours per day doing household chores.

Multiple factors—including lack of skills, networks, and access to finance, technology, and markets—constrain women’s decision to become entrepreneurs and affect their choices concerning which sector to enter, how much to put into their firms, and which business practices and technology to adopt. Contextual factors, such as social norms, access to childcare, and risk of gender-based violence, also contribute to the gender gap in firm performance documented by the Africa GIL and the EAP GIL.
