| Summary: | This Country Gender Assessment (CGA)
reviews the state of equality between women and men in
Armenia in access to opportunities, that is, equality in
rights, resources, and voice (World Bank 2007). Equality in
rights refers to equality under the law, whether customary
or statutory. Equality in resources refers to equality in
access to human capital investments, productive resources,
and markets. Equality in voice refers to the capacity to
make decisions about one’s own life, to act on these
decisions, and to influence and contribute to political
discourse and the development process. Noting the
government’s commitment to gender equality in the legal
framework and in policies, this report mainly focuses on the
extent of equality in resources and voice. Specifically, the
report reviews the extent of equality in the areas of
demography, human capital, economic opportunities, and voice
and agency. It also points to some common patterns. |
