2 Presentation Outline 1. Why should we care about gender equality?: Smart economics 2. Observed changes: What drove changes? Why does it matter? 3. A proposed theory of change: Where does action matter? 4. Policies and interventions: What works to increase women s participation in economic activity? 5. New and upcoming challenges: What to prepare for? 2
3 Gender equality matters in its own right The Empowerment Case Gender equality is a development goal in its own right. Access to economic opportunities is intrinsically and instrumentally empowering. Women and men should be equally able to define their desired goals, take advantage of opportunities related to them, and act on their goals- to have and use agency. 3
4 Gender equality is smart economics: gender equality can support growth The Development Case Women s income can contribute to household wellbeing (including declines in poverty and resilience to shocks) Women s labor force participation has positive impacts for the next generation Gender inequality has productivity costs: Today Human resources are underused or misallocated Tomorrow Disincentives to invest in the next generation 4
5 The average income loss due to gender gaps in economic activity is 16% Peru: 13.6% Thailand: 10.6% Australia: 12.3% Source: Cuberes and Teignier (2015). Aggregate effects of Gender gaps in the labor market: A quantitative estimate
6 but growth can promote gender equality (to an extent) Economic development: Generates more and better economic opportunities for women. Thailand: Structural transformation ( s) led to a rising employment share in the industrial and service sectors. Education: Growing economies create a higher demand for educated workers, and as education increases, more women go into paid work. Latin America: This increase in human capital explains 42% of the increase in female labor force participation in the period. Fertility: Education expansions has been accompanied with a later age of marriage and a smaller number of children. Japan: Birth rates went from 2.2 in the 1970s to 1.3 in In the same period female tertiary enrollment went from 16%-58%. 6

Korea Australia Japan Chile Education Science Social science, business and law Source: Genderstats, The World Bank
13 When it comes to business and entrepreneurship, gender inequalities persist Women lead only 1/3 of firms (on average), and they are over represented on small size firms EAP ECA OECD LAC MNA SA SSA Firmas Firms with con female participacion participation de mujeres in ownership en la propiedad Firmas Firms with lideradas female por top mujeres manager Firmas Firms with con majority mayoria female de propiedad ownership femenina Source: Genderstats, The World Bank
14 A gender and income gap in access to financial services limits access to credit Only 58% of women worldwide have a bank account for savings, manage of income, or access to credit Source: FINDEX. The World Bank
15 In sum: Women and men work in different parts of the economic sphere, with different productivity and earnings As wage workers women are concentrated in low productivity and low value-added sectors and/or jobs as entrepreneurs, women s firms are smaller, are concentrated in low productivity or low return sectors, and female entrepreneurs have lower access to credit. as farmers, women work smaller land plots, produce lower value crops, have lower access to inputs, and get lower returns to their investment 9
16 A proposed theory of change: Where do action matters? 16
17 Many factors interact to determine gender outcomes Analytical framework of the World Development Report 2012 policies Gender Equality INFORMAL INSTITUTIONS ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES MARKETS HOUSEHOLDS AGENCY ENDOWMENTS FORMAL INSTITUTIONS
18 Progress in economic opportunities is limited by several barriers MARKETS Differential access to labor/credit/land markets, MARKETS and networks INFORMAL INSTITUTIONS INFORMAL Social norms on INSTITUTIONS care/market work FORMAL INSTITUTIONS FORMAL Biased INSTITUTIONS law/regulations, and limited infrastructure HOUSEHOLDS Differential allocation time/resources ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES AGENCY ENDOWMENTS
19 Formal institutions: there are laws that prevent women from accessing certain jobs Percentage of economies per region with restrictions on the types of jobs women can do Source: Women, Business and the Law database, World Development Indicators database 19
20 Informal institutions: Social norms favor men in many places When jobs are scarce, men should have more rights to a job than women Malaysia
21 Informal institutions: Social norms favor men in many places If a woman earns more money than her husband, it s almost certain to cause problems Malaysia
22 Markets: Different access to jobs, credit, land Credit: + gender bias economies - credit for firms owned by women compared with similar male-owned firms female entrepreneurs are more likely to opt out of the formal credit granting process because they believe their loan application will be denied. Jobs: Experiments done sending comparable CVs to job ads show women receive fewer call backs than men when applying to jobs with equal qualifications and profile, especially in high-status or male-dominated jobs.
23 In sum: Change for change to happen address the underlying factors of observed gender inequalities Focus as much on increasing women s ability to use opportunities as into the structure of opportunities itself. Focus on women and men Focus on gaps that do not disappear with growth Target determinants of gender inequality Focus on information gaps Focus on productivity traps Focus on norms and beliefs
24 Policies and interventions 24
25 Policies and actions are needed to tackle gender inequality But we need to know more about policies: Policies that work: Policies with documented effects (intentional or not). Promising policies: Policies that need to be tested in developing contexts or scaled-up. Inefficient policies: Policies that are costly and have not been tested, policies that are not working but are still in place. 25
26 Policies that work (some of them) Demand-driven job services (skills training with internships, wage subsidies, job search support, public works) Savings and credit schemes combined (instead of microcredit alone) Childcare and early childhood education expansion (but not in all cases) Land titling and land rights (formalization, ownership rights, inheritance) 26
27 Example: Childcare The estimated effects of childcare programs on women s employment are positive and significant in most cases, particularly in developing economies
28 Promising policies and activities (some) Mentoring programs (for female entrepreneurs and to help women getting into new sectors): promising results when combined with training, with a focus on or specific/tailored advice Information: providing the right information, and information women need, access to information devices (mobile phones) for farmers and microentrepreneurs to better learn about price and demand information. Associations and networks: such as group grants, cooperatives, networks of producers and national buyers and supply chains Maternity and Parental leave: mandatory and at least partially funded by the state seems to work as it formalizes the sharing of care duties (and shifts employers biases) 28
29 Example: Maternity leave The estimated effects of maternity leave on women s employment and earnings are positive, but very limited to certain economies and the conditions under which leave is offered (funding, duration) Europe (17 countries) US (California) OECD (parental leave) Canada 29
30 Inefficient policies (some tested, some not evaluated) Vocational skills training or on-the-job training (on their own) few skills training programs on their own have shown positive effects on employability, and only partially in activation, with effects disappearing fast Microloans results in areas such as household consumption or women s reported autonomy and agency, but minimum to null increase in economic activity. Firms remain at subsistence level or die within the short/medium term. Demand-side interventions awards to employers, enforced regulations on equal pay, enforced regulations to not discriminate at hiring. 30
31 Entrepreneurship promotion: microcredit and training Microloans without training and training without financing or other elements have negative effects on profits. Programs combining them all are more successful in terms of revenues Business training (with or without credit) has almost no impact on business survival. 60% % % % % -40% -60% -80% Source: Own calculations. 31
32 New and upcoming challenges 32
33 Axis Child dependency ratio (ratio of population aged 0-14 per 100 population 15-64) Old-age dependency ratio (ratio of population aged 65+ per 100 population 15-64) Rapid aging and declining fertility The shifting from the child/old age dependency ratio will represent a burden on the demand for care, and a shortage of care providers (projection for selected APEC Economies ) Philippines Malaysia Mexico Peru Indonesia China Chile New Zealand Mexico Japan Chile China New Zealand Peru Malaysia 40 Russian Federation Russian Federation Indonesia 30 Philippines Source: UN Population Projections, latest revision medium fertility scenario. 33
34 The most effective policy mix will vary by country, but there are common areas to consider Providing accessible, affordable and quality formal care services Continuing efforts to make work-life balance a reality Creating leave policies that support the family as care providers (paid, unpaid) Promoting flexible work arrangements Recognizing, supporting, and improving family-provided care Considering allowances and tax incentives for caregivers and/or recipients Improving pension credits for caregivers systems (coverage, targeting, and generosity) Promotion of participation in the labor market of the young old as caregivers of the oldest old 34
35 E-literacy and access to digital dividends 80% of the population in developing economies. Women are 14% less likely to own a mobile phone than men, on average. In developing economies, men are 2.7 times more likely than women to work in the ICT sector and 7.6 times more likely to be in ICT occupations. Of online shop owners using Alibaba in China, 4/10 shop owners are women, 19% were previously unemployed, 7% were farmers. Alibaba is estimated to support an additional 2 million jobs, and each shop owners employs another 2 people. 35
36 E-literacy and access to digital dividends Digital technologies help to make work arrangements more flexible, connecting women to work, and generating new opportunities in online work, e-commerce, and the sharing economy. Technology can help improve women s access to and accumulation and recognition of ownership of productive assets. Mobile money and online learning can be beneficial for women with limited physical mobility and lack of agency over resources Technology-driven shifts in skills demand can reduce wage gaps, especially among the better educated. But it requires focus on: Women s lack of functional literacy and e-literacy Lack of access to the means to access digital dividends (phone, computer, time) Necessary reforms to make tele-work and IT work as good as regular office work. 36
