The Gender Wealth Gap Louis Boakye-Yiadom University of Ghana/The Gender Asset Gap Project World Bank Workshop on Gender and Assets 14 June 2012

Outline The gender wealth gap – basic concept The gender wealth gap – findings from Ecuador, Ghana, and Karnataka (India); The gender wealth gap, using a modified measure; Summary of findings and concluding thoughts.

The Gender Wealth Gap – Basic Concept Females’ share of the value of assets; Incorporates both quantity and quality dimensions; Limitation: Focuses only on owners of assets

The Gender Wealth Gap, Using a Modified Measure G = Fw – Fp, where Fw: Females’ share of wealth Fp: Females’ share of the population G=0: An absence of a gender wealth gap G<0: A gender wealth gap in favour of males G>0: A gender wealth gap in favour of females

The Gender Wealth Gap, Using a Modified Measure – Cont ... Ecuador Ghana Karnataka Females’ Share of Physical Wealth 0.533 .303 0.19 Females’ Share of the Population 0.518 .524 .523 Modified Gender Wealth Gap 0.02 -0.22 -0.33

Key Findings Differences exist among the three countries in the gender wealth gaps for the various asset categories; Females’ share of physical wealth is highest in the poorest quintile, but lowest in the richest quintile; For Ghana and Karnataka, the size of the gender wealth gap is an indication that massive policy interventions are required to considerably bridge the gap.
