East Asia Forum Quarterly Vol.11 No.1: Investing in Women
This issue of East Asia Forum Quarterly touches on key economic and social questions that affect gender equality in South East Asia and East Asia, delving beneath the aggregates and measurement challenges. Strengthening the evidence base is critical to building the policy toolkit and shaping public investments that ensure that no woman or man is left behind.
The essays collected here suggest that solutions that might work require urgent but patient and comprehensive economic, institutional and social change based on evidence and research that supports it.
