| description |
The aim of this report is to provide a
broad overview of the current state of gender equality in
Tajikistan. While the Europe and Central Asia (ECA) region
traditionally surpassed many other regions in terms of
gender equality, this advantage has been eroding in recent
decades. Particularly in Tajikistan, concerns have been
raised that men and women have unequally born the
consequences of economic, political, and social transitions
after independence in 1991. The report examines several
dimensions of gender equality both quantitatively and
qualitatively. Tajikistan has set up a legal framework that
enshrines principles of equality and non-discrimination, but
better implementation results require continued efforts.
Prevailing social norms and patriarchal systems of
decision-making limit women s ability to make effective
choices be it at home or at work. The paper is structured
along the following lines. The first section introduces the
idea of agency that will remain an important issue
throughout the report. This is followed by an analysis of
disparities in human capital endowment, including health and
education. Gender gaps in the Tajik labor market and
entrepreneurial activities of men and women are discussed in
the fourth and fifth section. The final section concludes
with some policy recommendations that might be beneficial
for discussions among policy-makers, civil society actors,
and development partners. |
