| dc.description.abstract | Women, Business and the Law 2020
is the sixth in a series of studies that
analyze laws and regulations affecting women’s economic opportunity in
190 economies.
Eight indicators—structured around
women’s interactions with the law
as they begin, progress through, and
end their careers—align with the economic decisions women make at various stages of their lives. The indicators
are Mobility, Workplace, Pay, Marriage,
Parenthood, Entrepreneurship, Assets,
and Pension.
Data in Women, Business and the Law
2020 are current as of September 1,
2019. The indicators are used to build
evidence of the relationship between
legal gender equality and women’s
entrepreneurship and employment.
By examining the economic decisions
women make as they go through different stages of their working lives,
as well as the pace of reform over
the past two years, Women, Business
and the Law makes a contribution to
policy discussions about the state of
women’s economic opportunities. | en_US |
