WBL: Enforcement Perceptions, Pay, Public authorities enforce a woman's right to work in different economic sectors in the same way as a man
What's in it
The indicator assesses expert perceptions of the extent to which public authorities enforce a woman's right to work in different economic sectors in the same way as a man in practice. Experts rate enforcement on a five-point Likert scale (0–4), where 0 indicates no enforcement of protective or beneficial laws, no upholding of women’s rights, or full enforcement of restrictive laws, and 4 indicates full enforcement of protective or beneficial laws, the full upholding of women’s rights, or no enforcement of restrictive laws. Enforcement perceptions indicator-level score is contingent upon the score of the corresponding legal frameworks indicator and calculated by taking the median value of individual expert responses on the five-point Likert scale (0–4) at the economy level. For indicators that correspond to a partially scored legal frameworks indicator, a weighted approach is applied.
