Gender Issues in PRSPs Outline of this presentation: Elements of gender equality Limitations of MDGs Proposed set of indicators to complement MDGs Gender coverage of country PRSPs: MDGs Expanded ( proposed) set of indicators Next steps

Key Elements of Gender Equality Household Household resource and task allocations, fertility decisionsSociety Civic and political participation Economy & Markets Access to land, financial services, labor markets, technology Aggregate economic performance (poverty reduction, growth) Gender equality in rights, resources, and voice Leveling the field of opportunities Domains of choices, domains for policy

Framework : Key Elements of Gender Equality Ties together key elements of gender equality* In the household: increased gender equality between men and women changes the allocation of HH expenditures, resulting in a larger share of resources devoted to children’s education and health. In the market: gender inequality is reflected in unequal access to land, credit, and labor markets, and in significantly less access to new production technologies. In society: gender inequality is expressed as restrictions to women’s participation in civic and political life. In addition to improving individuals’ lives, increased gender equality can contribute to better aggregate economic performance. *Source – WB Global Monitoring Report 2007

MDG 3: Promote gender equality and empower women Target 3A: Eliminate gender disparities in primary and secondary education, preferably by 2005, and in all levels of education by no later than 2015 HouseholdEconomy and market Society Ratio of girls’ to boys’ enrollment in primary, secondary, and tertiary education Share of women in wage employ- ment in the non- agricultural sector Proportion of seats held by women in national parliament Official Indicators

MDG3 Effect on Other MDGs Gender equality and women’s empowerment are channels to attaining other MDGs — universal primary education (MDG2A), lower under-five mortality (MDG4A), improved maternal health (MDG5A and B), lower likelihood of contracting HIV/AIDS (MDG6A), Reduce biodiversity loss (MDG7B).

Limitations of the Official MDG3 Indicators Only partially measure gender equality Do not monitor key elements of gender equality (health outcomes and disparities in access to productive resources such as land, credit, and technology) Inadequate measurement of empowerment National-level indicators can veil inequalities between particular subgroups

Official MDG indicators: Education Ratio of girls’ to boys’ enrollment in primary, secondary, and tertiary education – say nothing about educational outcomes (Completion? Getting a job?) Gaps between boys and girls completion rates remain high in SSA and SA (90% to 83% and 67% to 57% respectively) Changes in the indicators based on parity ratios are difficult to interpret. (Increases in female-to-male ratios can result from a fall in male rates with female rates remaining constant) Measures the status of women relative to men, rather than whether women are empowered (whether they have the ability to exercise options, choice, and control)

Other Indicators’ limitations: Share of women in non/agricultural wage employment Limited use for low-income countries where wage employment is not a main source of jobs. Does not capture the dimensions of job quality/ability of women to work for pay (economic empowerment) Does not quantify barriers inhibiting women from participating in the labour force. Does not capture the ability of women to control their fertility Proportion of seats held by women in national parliaments Captures political participation only at the national level, not at provincial or local levels,

Prospective MDG 3 Indicators HouseholdEconomy and marketsSociety Test scores, male and female Gender gap in wagesPercentage voting by male, female, and ratio Proportion of women who have ever been victims of physical violence by an intimate male partner Share of women in informal wage and self-employment in nonagricultural employment Proportion of women in the executive branch Percent of employed women who have access to child care Percentage of individuals who possess basic citizenship documents, female, and ratio Business by average size and sex of owner Access to credit for women and men Land ownership by female, male, and jointly held

Gender in the PRSPs 45 PRSPs, from were reviewed For coverage of MDGs For coverage of prospective indicators: Which prospective gender issue was addressed Was an indicator identified to monitor progress
