Overview
This grant will support the Levy Economics Institute’s Gender Equality and the Economy program to generate new knowledge on the determinants of women’s time and poverty in five African countries that can be used to inform gendered economic analysis and related policy goals. The project’s multicountry, multilevel research design is strengthened through new partnerships with in-country researchers to produce contextually relevant evidence for regional and national policymakers, activists, and scholars working to advance social and economic investments that allow for greater gender equality in paid and unpaid work.
