Foreign Gender Law Database Facilitates Comparative Analysis
The Doing Business Gender Law Library is a collection of national legal provisions covering women's economic status in 183 countries. The collection is regularly updated but the project developers do not guarantee that the database is exhaustive or the laws are the most recent version. Translations are not official unless indicated. The database facilitates comparative analysis by organizing its resources by the following categories:
Gender Equality
- Non-Discrimination
- Affirmative Action
Family and Inheritance Law
- Marriage and Divorce
- Inheritance
Labor Law
- Maternity
- Child Care
- Industry Prohibitions
- Work-Hour Limits
- Retirement
- Equal Pay
- Sexual Harassment
The Doing Business Gender Law Library is a joint initiative of the Doing Business Project and the World Bank Gender Action Plan, supported by Vital Voices Global Partnership. Hat tip to beSpacific. [JH]
