Abstract

While women in recent times have made certain gains in the realms of rights, education, health, and access to jobs and livelihoods, gaps remain in many areas. The worst disparity is the rate at which girls and women die relative to men in developing countries. Excess female deaths account for an estimated 3.9 mn women each year in low- and middle-income countries. This year’s “World Development Report (WDR) 2012: Gender Equality and Development” argues that closing these gaps is a core development objective in its own right. Greater gender equality can enhance productivity, improve development outcomes for the next generation, and make institutions more representative.
