Women, as men, benefitted from such progress and increased access to services. Gender gaps in access to education narrowed significantly. The report recommends few key areas for strategic interventions. The recommendations are for the government and other development actors to focus on areas which are not only of greater potential impact but also a pre-requisite for women’s agency and empowerment. These include investment in women’s education (access and quality), the re-examination of certain discriminatory provisions in the country’s legal system (combined with an effort to strengthen implementation of the legislation and delivery of public sector services), and the promotion of cultural norms that value women as equal partners to men. The ultimate objective is to promote women’s empowerment as a means to achieve a more inclusive, open and prosperous society. 2015-07-21T21:43:04Z 2015-07-21T21:43:04Z 2015-06-30 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2015/06/24737759/morocco-mind-gap-empowering-women-more-open-inclusive-prosperous-society http://hdl.handle.net/10986/22274 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Country Gender Assessment (CGA) Middle East and North Africa Morocco
