Kyrgyz Republic : Gender Disparities in Endowments and Access to Economic Opportunities
geographic_facet Europe and Central Asia
Kyrgyz Republic
description The paper aims to provide an overview of the gender disparities in three major domains-human capital, labor market and entrepreneurship. In doing so, it builds on the framework of the World Bank's regional gender report opportunities for men and women: emerging Europe and Central Asia (World Bank, 2011) and the world development report on gender and development (World Bank, 2011). This joint gender assessment work has the objectives of analyzing the gender dimensions of development of the country and proposing a conceptual framework which will assist in explaining gender inequality and recommending public actions for consideration by policy makers and civil society. This report is an input into the larger country gender assessment. In agreement with the other partners, the scope of this report is limited to quantitative analysis of the gender aspects of the human capital development, labor market disparities, entrepreneurship, career advancement and wage differentials, using nationally representative household survey data. The rest of this paper is organized as follows: section one provides an analysis of gender disparities in human capital focusing on education and health outcomes, section two describes men's and women's employment patterns, section three discusses differences in earnings, section four focuses on men's and women's entrepreneurship and possibilities for career advancement in business and politics and section five provides concluding observations.
