At the same time, a number of important gender disparities do exist. In particular, several studies have documented gender disparities in access to economic opportunities, earnings, and productivity. Such gender disparities in the labor market are problematic for at least three reasons. First, the use of women's full potential in the labor market is likely to result in greater macroeconomic efficiency, everything else equal. Second, jobs can be direct instruments of women's development and empowerment. Third, expanding women's labor market opportunities has potentially large positive spillover effects on women’s overall agency, control, and power. 2018-03-28T19:25:20Z 2018-03-28T19:25:20Z 2018-03 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/285281521553983782/Perceptions-of-precariousness-a-qualitative-study-of-constraints-underlying-gender-disparities-in-Mongolias-labor-market http://hdl.handle.net/10986/29539 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Other Social Protection Study Economic & Sector Work East Asia and Pacific Mongolia
