🌍 In Ghana, #Gender disparities in the labour force are evident. Women face barriers to accessing the formal #LabourMarket and are restricted to family and self-employment (1/6)👇.
📊 Through an instrumental variables approach, Monica Lambon (2023) uncovered significant effects on women's #health, #education, and #employment, as well as on children's human capital development, due to the scarcity of basic resources (2/5)👇.

👩🌾🌍Did you know that climate change is transforming rural labour markets, with disproportionate impacts on women? @nikita_sang et al. explore how rainfall variability affects female versus male employability (1/6)👇. #ClimateChange #Gender #RuralEmployment
In rain-affected agricultural areas, climate uncertainty looms large. This study looks at how droughts exacerbated by #ClimateChange impact women's access to non-agricultural jobs and deepen gender gaps (2/6)👇.

Did you know that access to paved roads in rural areas can have a significant impact on #FertilityDecisions and child health? 🛣️✨ This study examines how this access influences the lives of families in #India (1/6) 👇.
Dasgupta et al., found that areas with greater access to paved roads have higher fertility rates, but also make better investments in #ChildHealth. How can that be? (2/6) 👇.

🧵#GenderEquality is key to the 17 SGDs, as it addresses fundamental inequalities and drives broad goals such as poverty eradication, improvements in health, education, decent work, peace and justice, essentially empowering #Women and #Girls. (1/n)👇

UN DESA and @ONUMujeres held a panel on how #women's equality is being affected in relation to the 17 SGDs. The panelists will discuss the "Progress on the Sustainable Development Goals: #Gender Perspective 2023" published by DESA and UN Women earlier this year. (2/n)👇

🌿The #Agricultural income gap between men and #women is due to inequality in access to and use of agricultural inputs, land tenure, investments in new technologies, access to markets and credit, as well as institutional constraints affecting agricultural management (1/6)👇.
However, this #IncomeGap is also largely related to women's empowerment issues, as women are considered to be less efficient and produce less than men due to their limited #LandRights and limited access to agricultural inputs (FAO, 2010) (2/6)👇.

🖇️🌍#FoodInsecurity and #Malnutrition are significant problems in developing countries. Although social protection in Sub-Saharan Africa is intensive in alleviating food insecurity, the impact on rural female-headed households has not been well documented (1/6) 👇.

🧵🖇️Individual #Migration decisions may be driven by #ClimateChange. However, rainfall shocks may perpetuate #Gender inequality as #Women are less likely to migrate when affected by climate change (1/7). 👇

🌿💡#GenderInequality in low- and middle-income countries can disproportionately place the burden of #EnergyPoverty on #Women. However, although gender equity is related to modern energy services in many ways, quantitative empirical work on these connections is limited (1/6). 👇
