development of a Gender Action Plan for the Andean Countries
under the Gender Analysis Work Program.The note lays out a
descriptive overview of gender gaps in endowments, economic
opportunities and agency – the explanation of the observed
situation is outside the scope of this note.The note applies
the analytical framework devised by the WDR 2012 on Gender
Equality and Development. Chapter one covers the legal and
institutional framework and the issue of the agency of women
– e.g. political representation and violence against women,
time use, and attitudes towards women; Chapter two provides
an overview the situation with regards to the main
endowments of health and education; and Chapter three deals
with the existing gender gaps in economic opportunity labor
force participation and unemployment, the quality of
employment, earnings, entrepreneurship and access to
finance.The review presented here is the result of the first
stage in the assessment process.This note mainly reflects an
initial descriptive exercise, and will be revised after the

the results of such consultations will not only help
identify additional literature and research on specific
issues, but also help prioritize the key gender gaps to be
addressed based on the way discussions on the issue are
currently taking place in the country. |
