Resumen
Descripción
To achieve gender equality and empower
women, it is essential to invest in human development. The
World Development Report 2012: Gender Equality and
Development (hereafter WDR 2012) brings the best global
evidence to bear on the relationship between gender equality
and development. A central theme running through the report
is how investments and outcomes in human development namely
health, education, social protection, and labor shape, and
are shaped by, gender equality. This note is designed as a
companion to the WDR 2012 and highlights some of the World
Bank Group's recent experience with and impact on
promoting gender equality through its work in human
development. Gender equality benefits society as a whole.
Greater gender equality today shapes the norms and cultures
as well as the constraints and possibilities of
tomorrow's men and women. A wealth of evidence
demonstrates that gender equality begins a virtuous circle
of higher productivity, lower poverty, and better
development outcomes for generations to come.
