Although progress has been made in expanding women’s access to productive and financial resources, challenges remain, especially to improving women’s workplace rights. Gender discrimination and inequalities at work persist in all regions: the global level of discrimination on this indicator is 44%, ranging from 5% in Latvia to 87% in Pakistan. This is the most striking indicator in this sub-index. For other indicators, the global level of discrimination is 27% and 24% in women’s legal access to land and non-land assets, respectively, and 13% for women’s access to formal financial services, thanks to strengthened legal frameworks (Figure 5.2). This result should be interpreted with care because merely having access to a bank account does not means women’s financial needs are being fulfilled in practice.1
