Resumen
Descripción
The report draws on the conceptual
framework of the world development 2012: gender equality and
development, and the regional report on gender equality,
opening doors: gender equality in the Middle East and North
Africa. The report's analytic approach is unique in
threading together three bodies of evidence and analysis to
shed new light on significant trends and causes underpinning
the large gender disparities in the country. The report
presents: i) a fresh look at available survey data on human
development and socio-economic indicators in the country;
ii) a brief history and in-depth analysis of the most
critical legal barriers to women's and girl's full
participation in Yemeni society; and iii) insights from a
rich qualitative dataset collected in January 2011.The
findings especially highlight the powerful roles of social
norms and legal rights and entitlements in placing women and
girls at a disadvantage and constraining not only faster
progress on gender equality but also the country's
economic development. The objectives of this report are
two-fold: first, to take stock of the status of gender
outcomes in Yemen and understand the forces that are driving
the strong gender inequalities; and second, drawing on these
insights and outcomes of the study, to highlight promising
areas for policy action in this crucial transition period.
The report explores how individual aspirations and
opportunities in the areas of education, family formation,
and labor force participation are constrained by the severe
gender gaps in Yemeni society.
