*World Development Report 2012*: ****

** **

Gender Equality and Development looks at the facts and trends surrounding
the various dimensions of gender equality in the context of the development
process: although many women around the world continue to struggle with
gender-based disadvantages, much has changed for the better and at a more
rapid pace than ever before. But that progress needs to be expanded,
protected, and deepened. ****

** **

While development has closed some gender gaps—in educational enrollment,
life expectancy, and labor force participation—other gaps persist,
including excess deaths of girls and women, disparities in girls’
schooling, unequal access to economic opportunities, and differences in
voice in households and society. ****

** **

The report argues that gender equality is a core development objective in
its own right. It is also smart economics. Greater gender equality can
enhance productivity, improve development outcomes for the next generation,
and make institutions more representative. For more information about this
landmark report, visit worldbank.org/wdr2012.
