Abstract

Despite much progress in monitoring women’s economic empowerment, there are large data gaps with respect to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) particularly in low-income countries. Measures and measuring tools may not be meaningful unless they are closely aligned to a specific context. This is pertinent in low-income contexts, where economic participation in the absence of supportive gender policies — may not be empowering, and where the nature of work itself is undergoing structural change. Comparable global indicators are necessary. The review of GrOW projects found over 40 different measures currently used to analyse women`s economic empowerment.
