| description |
This report aims to update knowledge of
gender disparities in Ethiopia using the latest household
survey data. The aim of this analysis is to support ongoing
efforts to implement Plan for Accelerated and Sustained
Development to End Poverty (PASDEP) vision. The significant
progress in addressing key dimensions of gender disparities
such as education shown in this report as well as in the
recent annual progress report on the implementation of
PASDEP in 2006-2007 suggests that current policy directions
are proving effective. At the same time this report
highlights the need to complement the existing emphasis on
broad based interventions with additional targeted
interventions which might address the specific constraints
experienced by some groups. Further, based on the evidence
from a few detailed evaluations of some existing programs,
the study highlights how policy making in this area should
include more emphasis on considerations of effective
implementation and monitoring. This report is structured as
follows. Chapter two presents a set of stylized facts on
gender disparities in Ethiopia, including both trends over
the last decade and current comparisons between Ethiopia and
other countries. Chapter three looks in greater detail at
the main drivers of gender disparities, focusing on factor
markets. Chapter four looks at the economic pay-offs of
decreasing gender inequality. Chapter five identifies a few
priority areas for policy intervention. |
