Women, Business and the Law Report 2012: Removing Barriers to Economic Inclusion
Rita Ramalho, Program Manager, Enterprise Analysis Unit, The
World Bank
The World Bank Group’s Women, Business and the Law project aims to
improve opportunities for women by examining the laws and
institutions that differentiate between men and women in ways that
can adversely affect women’s participation in the economy as
entrepreneurs and as workers.
The second edition of the Women, Business and the Law report aims
to facilitate comparative analysis of legislation across 141
economies and 6 areas of law (accessing institutions, using
property, getting a job, providing incentives to work, building
credit, and going to court).
Serving as a resource for research, and contributing to reforms
that can enhance women’s economic participation, the 2012 edition
will also highlight the key areas of overlap between women’s
economic empowerment and their human rights.
Lunch will be provided.
