Gender equality is a core development objective in its own right
and also smart development policy and business practice. No society
can develop sustainably without giving men and women equal power to
shape their own lives and contribute to their families,
communities, and countries. And yet, critical gender gaps continue
to exist in all countries and across multiple dimensions. The
gender module of the World Bank's ADePT software platform produces
a comprehensive set of tables and graphs using household surveys to
help diagnose and analyse the prevailing gender inequalities at the
country level and over time. This book provides a step-by-step
guide to the use of the ADePT software and an introduction to its
basic economic concepts and econometric methods. The module is
organised around the framework proposed by the World Development
Report 2012: Gender Equality and DevelopmentIt covers gender
differences in outcomes in three primary dimensions of gender
equality: human capital (or endowments), economic opportunities,
and voice and agency. Particular focus is given to the analysis and
decomposition techniques that allow for further exploring of gender
gaps in economic opportunities
