| "Engendering
Development - Through Gender Equality in Rights, Resources, and
Voice" is a Policy Research Report by the World Bank focusing
on gender issues and their broad economic and social implications
in developing and transitional countries. The report examines the
conceptual and empirical links between gender, public policy, and
development outcomes. The evidence presented shows that societies
that discriminate by gender tend to experience less rapid economic
growth and poverty reduction than societies that treat males and
females more equally. To promote gender equality, the report
proposes a 3-part strategy emphasizing (i) institutional
reforms that promote equal rights for women and men; (ii) policies
for sustained economic development; and (iii) active measures to
redress persistent gender disparities. The report is based on a
series of background
papers, plus an electronic (web)discussion.
