Abstract

The findings of the 2018 Women, Business and Law Report (World Bank) underscore the pervasiveness of legal and policy impediments affecting women. This paper analyzes “the politics of policies,” and provides examples of countries that could serve as models for systematically tackling the determinants of gender inequities. Efforts to integrate gender equality in public life should be integrated through a national strategy and action plan rather than ad hoc or reactive approaches to addressing gender equity. Gender budgeting should be implemented at national and sub-national levels, and be placed at the political center of fiscal decision-making in ministries of finance.
