| description |
This activity, which is part of the
World Bank’s European Commission (EC) - funded multisectoral
engagement in the Turkish Cypriot community (TCc), aims to
support the efforts to promote women’s economic engagement,
in particular by identifying constraints and required
support for female self-employment and entrepreneurship in
the TCc. Equality between men and women is a fundamental
principle of the European Union and supporting women’s
economic empowerment in the TCc is therefore directly linked
to advancing the European Union’s (EU’s) gender acquis. The
TCc has made strides in narrowing gender gaps in education;
even reversing them for younger generations, including in
tertiary education. The female labor market in the TCc is
characterized by low participation and low employment rates.
Investing in women’s economic engagement is a priority for
the TCc’s economic recovery and boost its resilience to
shocks. Women-led enterprises (WLE) are relatively small and
focus on low value added production, mainly concentrated in
the service sector, and are made up of family-run micro and
small enterprises. |
