Resumen
Descripción
The Maldivian economy relies heavily on tourism and fisheries; the labor gap persists. This study seeks to understand these dynamics and propose concrete solutions to foster gender-equitable value chains in both sectors, increase women's economic participation, and promote equitable growth. The study uses a mixed-methods approach to comprehensively analyze the factors influencing women's employment, safety, and mobility. Quantitative surveys engaged a representative sample of workers and employers in tourism and fisheries, ensuring gender balance. Surveys were supplemented with information from qualitative information, such as focus groups and interviews, to better understand the situation.
