Resumen
Descripción
Improving women’s agency is crucial for
advancing gender equality. Less than half of women in
Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia participate in making
decisions over their own health care, major household
purchases, and visiting their families. Improving women’s
ability to define goals and act on them is an important -
and urgent - policy goal. Yet the understanding of how to
achieve this goal is hampered by the lack of adequate
measurement tools and recognized best practices. Research is
needed to broaden and deepen the measurement of women’s goal
setting and decision-making, both within and outside the
household. This brief summarizes existing knowledge gaps in
the two measurement areas and lays out how the measures for
advancing gender equality (MAGNET) initiative plans to
tackle them.
