Among men aged 15 to 64 years, 65.7 percent participate in the labor force compared to only 41 percent of females in the same age group. It is estimated that BiH forgoes around 16 percent of gross national income due to gender disparities in labor force participation. The conflicting demand of women's time for care and work activities represents a fundamental barrier to economic participation and generates a vicious circle of low labor market attachment and prominence of the care provider role that leads to increased vulnerability and gender-based inequalities. 2018-03-29T20:22:42Z 2018-03-29T20:22:42Z 2015-10-30 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/835751521220252956/Why-should-we-care-about-care-The-role-of-childcare-and-eldercare-in-Bosnia-and-Herzegovina http://hdl.handle.net/10986/29548 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Women in Development and Gender Study Economic & Sector Work Europe and Central Asia Bosnia and Herzegovina
