Broadly speaking, we can view women and development as the empowerment of women in a Third World context. Accordingly, the question is whether women in the Middle East and North Africa benefit from development. If so, in what ways do they benefit? The essays in this volume survey a number of countries in the region to address these questions. The countries include Afghanistan, Palestine/Israel, Iran, Algeria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and Egypt. There is also an introduction to the volume and a general essay on women and development. The authors themselves are an international group of social scientists specializing in the region.

This report makes a case for greater gender diversity on Kazakhstan corporate boards (including the board of directors and management board). Empirical evidence from around the world shows the importance and value of gender diversity in improving firms' overall performance, including but not limited to financial performance. Gender diversity among business leaders typically leads to balanced decision-making processes, better monitoring and strategy involvement, and greater attention to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues to foster sustainability.

El Salvador has a long history of political and social challenges, including a 12-year civil war that ended in 1992. The country has struggled with high levels of crime, poverty, and inequality, which have hindered its economic and social development. The service sector is an important component in El Salvador's economy. El Salvador has made progress in recent years in addressing some of its social and economic challenges. For instance, the country has implemented a number of social programs aimed at reducing poverty and inequality, such as the conditional cash transfer programs. Early pregnancy and child marriage are significant factors that can contribute to school dropouts as young girls are expected to take on domestic responsibilities and resources, social tolerance, and the capacity of state institutions and civil society organizations.
