Developmentrelevance: While menstruation can be a taboo topic, menstrual health has been recognized as essential to improve public health and advance gender equality and human rights.  Menstrual health is central to achieving multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and is directly linked to SDG target 6.2, which calls for ‘special attention to the needs of women and girls’.

IndicatorName: Women and girls who participate in activities during menstrual period, rural (% of women and girls ages 15-49 living in rural areas who had a menstrual period within the last year)

Limitationsandexceptions: The JMP does not currently use a service ladder for menstrual health, as norms and standards relating to menstrual health and associated water, sanitation, and hygiene needs are still evolving. Further work is needed to refine the menstrual health indicators and evaluate if others may be more relevant.  National data are not available for high-income countries.

Longdefinition: The percentage of women and girls (ages 15-49 who had a menstrual period within the last year) who participated in activities (such as school, work, and social activities for those who typically participate in) during their last menstrual period.

Statisticalconceptandmethodology: Data on menstrual health are produced by the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (JMP) based on household surveys.   The data on each of the menstrual health indicators have been compiled and harmonized across countries and surveys, to the extent possible, to support cross-country comparison.

Developmentrelevance: The knowledge and analysis provided by Women, Business and the Law make a strong economic case for laws that empower women. Better performance in the areas measured by the Women, Business and the Law index is associated with more women in the labor force and with higher income and improved development outcomes. Equality before the law and of economic opportunity are not only wise social policy but also good economic policy. The equal participation of women and men will give every economy a chance to achieve its potential. Given the economic significance of women's empowerment, the ultimate goal of Women, Business and the Law is to encourage governments to reform laws that hold women back from working and doing business.

Generalcomments:
1. For the reference period, WDI and Gender Databases take the data coverage years instead of reporting years used in WBL (https://wbl.worldbank.org/).  For example, the data for YR2020 in WBL (report year) corresponds to data for YR2019 in WDI and Gender Databases.
2. The 2024 Women, Business and the Law (WBL) report has introduced two distinct datasets, labeled as 1.0 and 2.0. The WBL data in the Gender database is based on the dataset 1.0.  This dataset maintains consistency with the indicators used in previous WBL reports from 2020 to 2023. In contrast, the WBL 2.0 dataset includes new areas of childcare and safety. For those interested in exploring the WBL 2.0 dataset, it is available on the WBL website at https://wbl.worldbank.org.
3. The indicator name has been changed as of February 2021.
Previous indicator name: Women can work the same night hours as men (1=yes; 0=no)

IndicatorName: A woman can work at night in the same way as a man (1=yes; 0=no)

Limitationsandexceptions: The Women, Business and the Law methodology has limitations that should be considered when interpreting the data. All eight indicators are based on standardized assumptions to ensure comparability across economies. Comparability is one of the strengths of the data, but the assumptions can also be limitations as they may not capture all restrictions or represent all particularities in a country. It is assumed that the woman resides in the economy's main business city. In federal economies, laws affecting women can vary by state or province. Even in nonfederal economies, women in rural areas and small towns could face more restrictive local legislation. Such restrictions are not captured by Women, Business and the Law unless they are also found in the main business city. The woman has reached the legal age of majority and is capable of making decisions as an adult, is in good health and has no criminal record. She is a lawful citizen of the economy being examined, and she works as a cashier in the food retail sector in a supermarket or grocery store that has 60 employees. She is a cisgender, heterosexual woman in a monogamous first marriage registered with the appropriate authorities (de facto marriages and customary unions are not measured), she is of the same religion as her husband, and is in a marriage under the rules of the default marital property regime, or the most common regime for that jurisdiction, which will not change during the course of the marriage. She is not a member of a union, unless membership is mandatory. Membership is considered mandatory when collective bargaining agreements cover more than 50 percent of the workforce in the food retail sector and when they apply to individuals who were not party to the original collective bargaining agreement. Where personal law prescribes different rights and obligations for different groups of women, the data focus on the most populous group, which may mean that restrictions that apply only to minority populations are missed. Women, Business and the Law focuses solely on the ways in which the formal legal and regulatory environment determines whether women can work or open their own businesses. The data set is constructed using laws and regulations that are codified (de jure) and currently in force, therefore implementation of laws (de facto) is not measured. The data looks only at laws that apply to the private sector. These assumptions can limit the representativeness of the data for the entire population in each country. Finally, Women, Business and the Law recognizes that the laws it measures do not apply to all women in the same way. Women face intersectional forms of discrimination based on gender, sex, sexuality, race, gender identity, religion, family status, ethnicity, nationality, disability, and a myriad of other grounds. Women, Business and the Law therefore encourages readers to interpret the data in conjunction with other available research.

Longdefinition: The indicator measures whether nonpregnant and nonnursing women are prohibited from working at night or cannot work the same night hours as men. If various sectors of the economy are regulated separately (i.e., no central labor law), it is assumed that the woman is employed as a cashier in a grocery store or supermarket. It is analyzed whether restrictions on women's ability to work at night do not apply to the food retail sector; if women's consent to work at night is required; if an employer needs to comply with safety measures (such as providing transportation).

Statisticalconceptandmethodology: Women, Business and the Law tracks progress toward legal equality between men and women in 190 economies. Data are collected with standardized questionnaires to ensure comparability across economies. Questionnaires are administered to over 2,000 respondents with expertise in family, labor, and violence against women legislation, including lawyers, judges, academics, and members of civil society organizations working on gender issues. Respondents provide responses to the questionnaires and references to relevant laws and regulations. The Women, Business and the Law team collects the texts of these codified sources of national law - constitutions, codes, laws, statutes, rules, regulations, and procedures - and checks questionnaire responses for accuracy. Thirty-five data points are scored across eight indicators of four or five binary questions, with each indicator representing a different phase of a woman’s career. Indicator-level scores are obtained by calculating the unweighted average of the questions within that indicator and scaling the result to 100. Overall scores are then calculated by taking the average of each indicator, with 100 representing the highest possible score.

IndicatorName: A woman can obtain a judgment of divorce in the same way as a man (1=yes; 0=no)

Longdefinition: The indicator measures whether the divorce process is equal for women and men or includes additional protections for women, such as prohibiting a husband from initiating divorce proceedings while his wife is pregnant.

Topic: Norms and Decision-making


IndicatorName: A woman can open a bank account in the same way as a man (1=yes; 0=no)

Longdefinition: The indicator measures whether there are restrictions on a woman opening a bank account (i.e. a woman has limited legal capacity or is required to provide any additional permission or documentation that is not required of a man; or legal provisions limit the ability of a woman to open a bank account, such as stating that a married woman who is separately employed from her husband may open a bank account in her own name).

Topic: Assets


Developmentrelevance: Ownership of assets, particularly high-value assets, has many beneficial effects for households, including protection against financial ruin. For women in particular, asset ownership is a source of economic empowerment and provides protection in the case of marital dissolution or abandonment. There is increasing evidence that ownership of property by women has positive consequences for women’s empowerment, nutritional and health outcomes, and children’s schooling.

IndicatorName: Women and men have equal ownership rights to immovable property (1=yes; 0=no)

Longdefinition: The indicator measures whether no legal restriction related to property is applied to women or men based on gender (i.e. if legal restrictions on property ownership are applied based on gender, or if there are gender differences in the legal treatment of spousal property, such as granting the husband administrative control of marital property. This includes instances in which legal systems are supported by custom and judicial precedent).

Statisticalconceptandmethodology: Women, Business and the Law tracks progress toward legal equality between men and women in 190 economies. Data are collected with standardized questionnaires to ensure comparability across economies. Questionnaires are administered to over 2,000 respondents with expertise in family, labor, and violence against women legislation, including lawyers, judges, academics, and members of civil society organizations working on gender issues. Respondents provide responses to the questionnaires and references to relevant laws and regulations. The Women, Business and the Law team collects the texts of these codified sources of national law - constitutions, codes, laws, statutes, rules, regulations, and procedures - and checks questionnaire responses for accuracy. Thirty-five data points are scored across eight indicators of four or five binary questions, with each indicator representing a different phase of a woman’s career. Indicator-level scores are obtained by calculating the unweighted average of the questions within that indicator and scaling the result to 100. Overall scores are then calculated by taking the average of each indicator, with 100 representing the highest possible score.


IndicatorName: Criminal penalties or civil remedies exist for sexual harassment in employment (1=yes; 0=no)

Longdefinition: The indicator measures whether the law establishes criminal sanctions, such as fines or imprisonment, for sexual harassment in employment; if the provision in the criminal code provides for reparation of damages for offenses covered by the code; or if the law provides for civil remedies or compensation for victims of sexual harassment in employment or the workplace, even after dismissal of the victims.

IndicatorName: Female migrants (% of international migrant stock)

Limitationsandexceptions: In estimating the international migrant stock, international migrants have been equated with the foreign-born population whenever this information is available, which is the case in most countries or areas. In most countries lacking data on place of birth, information on the country of citizenship of those enumerated was available, and was used as the basis for the identification of international migrants, thus effectively equating, in these cases, international migrants with foreign citizens. Equating international migrants with foreign citizens when estimating the migrant stock has important shortcomings. In countries where citizenship is conferred on the basis of jus sanguinis, people who were born in the country of residence may be included in the number of international migrants even though they may have never lived abroad. Conversely, persons who were born abroad and who naturalized in their country of residence are excluded from the stock of international migrants when using citizenship as the criterion to define international migrants. Using country of citizenship as the basis for the identification of international migrants has also an impact on the age distribution of international migrants. In countries where citizenship is conferred mainly on the basis of jus sanguinis, children born to international migrants tend to be considered foreign citizens and are thus included in the count of international migrants. Conversely, in countries where citizenship is conferred mainly on the basis of jus soli, children born to international migrants are granted citizenship upon birth and are thus excluded from the migrant stock.

Longdefinition: Percentage of female migrants out of total international migrant stock. International migrant stock is the number of people born in a country other than that in which they live. It also includes refugees.

Source: United Nations Population Division, Trends in International Migrant Stock: 2020 Revision. Data downloaded as of December 6, 2024.

Statisticalconceptandmethodology: Most of the data used to estimate the international migrant stock by country or area were obtained from population censuses. Additionally, population registers and nationally representative surveys provided information on the number and composition of international migrants.  In estimating the international migrant stock, international migrants have been equated with the foreign-born population whenever this information is available, which is the case in most countries or areas. In most countries lacking data on place of birth, information on the country of citizenship of those enumerated was available, and was used as the basis for the identification of international migrants, thus effectively equating, in these cases, international migrants with foreign citizens. Among the 232 countries or areas included in the 2015 revision of International Migrant Stock, 92 per cent had at least one data source on the total migrant stock since the 2000 census round. For countries or areas with at least two data points, interpolation or extrapolation was used to estimate the migrant stock for the six reference years from 1990 to 2015. To estimate the total migrant stock for countries or areas with only one data source, the growth rates of the total migrant stock in the relevant major area or region were used, where appropriate, to estimate changes in migrant stock levels.
