The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Global Microscope assesses the enabling environment for financial inclusion across 5 categories and 55 countries. In this 2019 edition, the EIU examines how countries are promoting financial inclusion for both women and men, with 11 new gender-focused indicators added to the framework.
WEVentureScope, put together by the Economist Intelligence Unit and commissioned by the IDB’s Multilateral Investment Fund, assembles indicators assessing the areas of business operating risks, the entrepreneurial business environment, access to finance, access to education and training and availability of social services to identify the best places for a woman to start and grow a business in the Latin America and Caribbean regions.
This index from the Economist Intelligence Unit builds on work done by the UNDP and the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Inex to provide a robust look at the factors that influence women’s economic opportunity and how countries have addressed them.
