UNSG report builds on results of earlier study
United Nations Secretary-General's High-Level Panel on Women's Economic Empowerment second report builds on work of first report and focuses on a tighter set of recommendations to accelerate progress. Examines each of the seven drivers in detail as well as macroeconomic policy. Focuses on ways to support the most marginalized women at the base of the pyramid in agriculture and informal work. Seven drivers are: i) tackling adverse norms and promoting positive role models; ii) ensuring legal protection and reforming discriminatory laws and regulations; iii) recognizing, reducing and redistributing unpaid work and care; iv) building assets - digital, financial and property; v) changing business culture and practice; vi) improving public sector practices in employment and procurement; and vii) strengthening visibility, collective voice and representation.
