Washington, DC: World Bank. © World Bank. https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/handle/10986/35094 License: CC BY 3.0 IGO.” By developing a time series and further researching the interaction between inequality of opportunity for women and labor market dynamics, the World Bank's Women, Business and the Law project strengthens insights into how women’s employment and entrepreneurship are affected by legal gender discrimination, and in turn how this affects economic outcomes. Business and the Law (WBL) data for 190 economies for 1970 to 2020 (reporting years 1971 to 2021). Data is provided for 35 data points across 8 scored indicators. The WBL index scores are based on the average of each economy’s scores for the 8 topics included in this year’s aggregate score. A higher score indicates more gender equal laws. The scores for previous years have been recalculated to account for data revisions and methodology changes. Please note that in previous editions, the dataset disaggregated restrictions listed for married and unmarried women. However, most of the restrictions found apply to married women only. Exceptions remain for: - Can a woman travel outside the country in the same way as a man? (Sudan has restrictions for both married and unmarried women.) - Can a woman be "head of household" or "head of family" in the same way as a man? (Sudan has restrictions for both married and unmarried women.) This file also includes additional unscored data points to give further details or context; such unscored data points are according to the legend below.
