Women, Business and the Law 2024 introduces a new framework for measuring the implementation gap across three pillars:
- legal frameworks, measuring laws;
- supportive frameworks, measuring policy mechanisms to implement laws;
- expert opinions, shedding light on experts’ perception of women’s outcomes.
It also introduces two new indicators: Safety, measuring frameworks addressing violence against women, and Childcare, measuring frameworks for the availability, affordability and quality of childcare.
