Abstract:
This edition of the GrOW Newsletter highlights some of the contributions by our program and partners to inform the UN High-Level Panel on Women’s Economic Empowerment (UNHLP) report; shares resources and updates on evidence emerging on gender equality; and showcases upcoming regional and international events on women’s empowerment. New data from the World Economic Forum highlights that the gender gap could take 170 years to close. When measured in terms of income and employment, the gender gap has widened in the past four years; at 59%. One factor highlighted is the uneven distribution of time allocated to unpaid work.
