The Financial Access Survey, launched in 2009, is a supply-side dataset on access to and use of financial services aimed at supporting policymakers to measure and monitor financial inclusion and benchmark progress against peers. The FAS is based on administrative data collected by central banks and other financial regulators.
This toolkit has two parts: gender budgeting and gender equality indices. The gender budgeting dataset contains information on 84 national gender budgeting initiatives around the world, of which 23 national initiatives are investigated in depth in six regional surveys. The gender equality indices dataset contains two composite indices: Gender Development Index (GDI) and Gender Inequality Index (GII).
GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, measured by female and male life expectancy at birth; education, measured by female and male expected years of schooling for children and female and male mean years of schooling for adults ages 25 years and older; and command over economic resources, measured by female and male estimated earned income.
GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa.
The Global Findex database is the world’s most comprehensive database on financial inclusion that consistently measures people’s use of financial services across countries and over time.
The ILO Care Policy Investment Simulator is a user-friendly online tool aimed to support governments, employers’ and workers’ organizations, research institutions, practitioners and other development partners to make simulations on how to close care policy gaps and reap the multiple benefits of investing in the care economy.
