Women, Business and the Law serves as a diagnostic tool that reflects where legal gender gaps lie and guides economies toward reforms. It expands its lens beyond the measurements of laws (de jure) and consolidates its framework for measuring the enabling environment for women’s economic opportunities based on three pillars: legal frameworks, supportive frameworks, and enforcement perceptions (de facto).
The first pillar, legal frameworks, measures the degree of equality of rights regarding, and explicit restrictions on, women’s work and entrepreneurship. The second, supportive frameworks, examines policies, institutions, mechanisms for access to justice, programs and services, and data systems that support the implementation of laws. The third pillar, enforcement perceptions, draws on expert views of how well public authorities enforce, in practice, each of the laws and rights measured under legal frameworks.
For each of the three pillars, 10 key topics relevant to women’s economic participation are measured: Safety, Mobility, Work, Pay, Marriage, Parenthood, Childcare, Entrepreneurship, Assets, and Pension. Four indicators, some of which consist of multiple survey questions, provide data on each topic.
Women, Business and the Law collects data through three specialized survey questionnaires sent to more than 20,000 vetted experts across 190 economies, drawing on a rigorously expanded global network of respondents. All submissions are validated against codified laws, official government sources, and standardized protocols to ensure accuracy, comparability, and transparency. Each edition of the Women, Business and the Law data reflects laws and policies that were in force within a standardized 12-month cut-off period, running from October 2 of two years prior to the report’s launch through October 1 of the year before the report's publication.
