| description |
An egalitarian socialist legacy and
relatively high and growing levels of income, particularly
over the last decade, have translated into fairly equal
gender outcomes in Russia along many dimensions. There are
no significant differences in education levels between men
and women, and in recent years more young women have
completed post-secondary education than young men. Girls
outperform boys in reading in standardized exams and do as
well as them in math and science. At first glance, women do
not seem to have difficulties in transitioning from school
to work or remaining employed over the life cycle. And
female labor force participation is significantly above the
levels observed in other countries in Europe and Central
Asia, as well as in the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development, or OECD. This new assessment of
gender equality issues in Russia seeks to gauge the progress
in all the domains of outcomes during the last 10 years, and
to further understand the main causes behind the persisting
gender gaps identified in the country. This assessment
builds on the analytical framework proposed by the World
Development Report 2012: gender equality and development
(World Bank 2012a) to provide a general overview of gender
issues in Russia, and it builds on literature at the
frontier in economics to go deeper in the two selected
topics: adult mortality and gender gap in pay. |
