Description
Despite past progress towards gender equality, recent trends reveal a stagnating – or even reversing – situation since 2019. According to recent estimates, full parity is to be reached in 134 years, shifting this achievement from 2030 to 2158.
Women still exhibit worse conditions than men everywhere in the world, but the gender gaps are particularly stark in the global south. Gender Economics in the Global South provides an overview of cross-cutting edge research in the economics of gender inequality in the global south, while offering a snapshot of women's living conditions using recent worldwide available data.
The evidence reviewed encompasses a large set of possible solutions to end gender inequality, from policy reforms to ban discriminatory practices and grant equal rights to men and women, to anti-poverty programs, as well as interventions facilitating women's access to formal education and the labour market.
