Abstract

Women, Business and the Law 2021 is the seventh in a series of annual studies measuring the laws and regulations that affect women's economic opportunity in 190 economies. The project presents eight indicators structured around women's interactions with the law as they move through their lives and careers: Mobility, Workplace, Pay, Marriage, Parenthood, Entrepreneurship, Assets, and Pension. This year's report updates all indicators as of October 1, 2020 and builds evidence of the links between legal gender equality and women's economic inclusion. By examining the economic decisions women make throughout their working lives, as well as the pace of reform over the past 50 years, Women, Business and the Law 2021 makes an important contribution to research and policy discussions about the state of women's economic empowerment. Prepared during a global pandemic that threatens progress toward gender equality, this edition also includes important findings on government responses to COVID-19 and pilot research related to childcare and women's access to justice.

Abstract

This paper looks at the private schooling sector in Pakistan, a country that is seriously behind schedule in achieving the Millennium Development Goals. Using new data, the authors document the phenomenal rise of the private sector in Pakistan and show that an increasing segment of children enrolled in private schools are from rural areas and from middle-class and poorer families. The key element in their rise is their low fees-the average fee of a rural private school in Pakistan is less than a dime a day (Rs.6). They hire predominantly local, female, and moderately educated teachers who have limited alternative opportunities outside the village. Hiring these teachers at low cost allows the savings to be passed on to parents through low fees. This mechanism-the need to hire teachers with a certain demographic profile so that salary costs are minimized-defines the possibility of private schools: where they arise, fees are low. It also defines their limits. Private schools are horizontally constrained in that they arise in villages where there is a pool of secondary educated women. They are also vertically constrained in that they are unlikely to cater to the secondary levels in rural areas, at least until there is an increase in the supply of potential teachers with the required skills and educational levels.

Abstract

Wealth and gender inequity in the accumulation of cognitive skills is measured as the association between subject competency and wealth and gender using the OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment. Wealth inequity is found to occur not through disparate household characteristics but rather through disparate school characteristics; little evidence is found of an association between wealth and competency within schools. Weak evidence is found of wealth mitigating gender differences through school characteristics. These findings suggest that wealth inequity in the accumulation of cognitive skills is almost exclusively associated with disparate school characteristics and that disparate school characteristics may play a role in accentuating gender inequity.

Abstract

Les revenus des produits de la pêche ont augmenté ces dernières années au Vietnam. Le thon étant le produit de la mer à plus forte valeur ajoutée pour l'exportation, son activité procure un revenu à de plus en plus de Vietnamiens (653 millions de dollars en 2018). La compréhension d'une chaîne de valeur permet de l'améliorer et de supprimer les goulets d'étranglement. Pourtant, la littérature existante sur la chaîne de valeur du thon au Vietnam ne prend pas en compte le genre, indispensable au progrès. La réalisation d'une analyse de genre permettra de dresser un tableau du rôle des femmes et de mettre en évidence les disparités entre les genres, bon allié pour parvenir à l'égalité. Pour établir quels sont les rôles des femmes, une étude des différences entre les genres est nécessaire. Pour ce faire, des entretiens ont été menés dans les ports de pêche de Tam Quan et Quy Nhon, dans la province de Binh Dinh, auprès de négociants en thon et d'intermédiaires.
La méthodologie d'analyse de genre de l'USAID pour les chaînes de valeur a été utilisée pour concevoir les questionnaires et servir de cadre à cette étude. Elle tient compte de six dimensions : (i) Accès aux actifs, (ii) Pratiques et participation, (iii) Connaissances, croyances et perceptions, (iv) Droits et statut juridique, (v) Pouvoir et prise de décision, (vi) Temps et espace. Les trois types de rôles considérés par le cadre d'analyse de genre de Moser sont étudiés : productif, reproductif et gestion communautaire.
Les principales disparités observées, dont découlent toutes les autres, concernent la profession et les espèces de thon commercialisées. Les hommes ont accès à un meilleur marché, mais cela ne signifie pas que les femmes sont privées de capital : elles traitent de plus grandes quantités de poisson et sont propriétaires de plus de bateaux de pêche.
Les femmes sont plus susceptibles de prester davantage d’heures de travail et d’avoir peu de temps libre puisqu'elles doivent assurer les deux rôles : productif et reproductif. Ici, les femmes n'ont pas un triple rôle ; elles sont responsables du foyer et de la plupart des tâches administratives de l'entreprise. Elles sont perçues comme étant plus aptes à négocier car elles font preuve de patience et de diligence.
Contrairement à ce que l'on pourrait penser, le rôle de gestion communautaire revient aux hommes. Revenues of fishery products have been increasing these past few years in Vietnam. Tuna being the sea-commodity with the highest added-value for exportation, its business provides an income to more and more Vietnamese (USD 653 million in 2018). Understanding a value chain enables its improvement and the suppression of bottle-necks. Yet, the existing literature on the value chain of tuna in Vietnam does not take gender, essential to progress, into account. Conducting a gender analysis will help build a picture of the role of women and highlight gender disparities, hence a good ally to reach equality. To establish what are the roles of women, a study of the gender disparities is required. To do so, interviews were conducted in Tam Quan and Quy Nhon fishing ports in Binh Dinh province, among tuna traders and middle-persons.
USAID’s gender analysis methodology for value chains was used to design the questionnaires and serve as the framework for this study. It accounts for six dimensions : (i) Access to assets, (ii) Practices and participation, (iii) Knowledge, beliefs and perceptions, (iv) Legal rights and status, (v) Power and decision-making, (vi) Time and space. The three types of roles considered by Moser’s Gender Analysis Framework are studied : productive, reproductive and community management.
The main disparities observed, from which all the others arise, pertain to the profession and the species of tuna traded. Men have access to a better market but this does not mean that women are denied capital : they deal with bigger quantities of fish and are owners of more fishing boats.
Women are more likely to have long working hours and little free time since they have to ensure the two roles : productive and reproductive. Here, women do not have a triple role; they are in charge of the household and most of the administrative tasks of the business. They are perceived as better at negotiating since they show patience and diligence. 
Contrary to what one might think, the role of community managing falls to men.
