Abstract

With gender gaps continuing to be one of the most pressing labour market and social challenges facing the global community, Chapter 1 quantifies the magnitudes of gender gaps in the world of work and how they compare across regions through a detailed account of gaps in labour force participation gaps, unemployment rates for women and men, status in employment, wages and income, and sectoral and occupational opportunities. Finally, the chapter attempts to quantify the potential economic impact from closing gender gaps in the labour market.
