- Description
- This report considers the social and economic costs of violence against women and girls (VAWG) in Pakistan. The results presented originate from the What Works to Prevent Violence: Economic and Social Costs project (2014-2019), funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID). One of the findings is that 2.2% of employed women in Pakistan are not working as a consequence of VAWG. Besides, children of women experiencing intimate partner violence miss over two million school days annually. The results show the impact of VAWG on economic productivity and wellbeing in Pakistan and the need for more investment in prevention programmes.

- Description
- 'This report shows that there is a sort of inevitability about women’s increasing engagement in labour markets. Between 1980 and 2008, the rate of female labour force participation increased from 50.2 to 51.7 per cent. In countries and regions where participation rates at the beginning of the period were below the world median, the increases were much more dramatic. .On the other hand, in some countries where female labour force participation was much higher than the median in 1980, probably due to the prevalence of poverty in the country and the necessity of working for survival, the rates showed a decline over the period. What this means is that over time there has been both a general increase in female economic participation and a shrinking of the distance between countries with low levels and countries with high levels of participations.''

- Description
- 'With an aging population and declining productivity growth, Europe faces serious challenges to raising its output growth. Adding to these challenges are the various gender gaps in the labor market. Despite significant progress in recent decades, there are still fewer women than men participating in Europe’s labor market, and women are more likely to work part time. Furthermore, a smaller share of women reaches the top rungs of the corporate ladder. .Against this backdrop, this paper investigates the drivers of female labor force participation in Europe as well as what effects greater gender diversity in senior corporate positions might have for Europe’s economic performance. Reexamining the factors driving women’s labor force participation is particularly important because in many European countries the process of closing the gender gap has stalled despite greater gender equality in human capital investment, declining birth rates, changing social norms, and equal legal access to employment opportunities. .For women in Europe the decision to work is not simply a matter of personal choice—policies matter, too. .More women in the labor force paves the way for increased diversity in senior corporate positions and better firm performance. The empirical evidence suggests a strong positive association between firms’ gender diversity in senior positions and corporate financial performance.'
