abstract: 'This paper offers for the first time a global picture of gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
discrimination by the law as it affects women''s economic opportunity and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
charts the evolution of legal inequalities over five decades. Using the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
World Bank''s newly constructed Women, Business and the Law database, we
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
document large and persistent gender inequalities, especially with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
regard to pay and treatment of parenthood. We find positive correlations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
between more equal laws pertaining to women in the workforce and more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
equal labor market outcomes, such as higher female labor force
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participation and a smaller wage gap between men and women.'
