female non-agricultural workers are informally em-
ployed compared to 63 percent of men. In Latin 
America, 58 percent of women are informally em-
ployed compared to 48 percent of men. Informal em-
ployment is characterized by lower wages and great-
er variability of earnings, less stability, absence of 
labor organization, and fewer social protections than 
formal employment. 
(4) Changes in the economy of a poor country 
affect women and men differently; women are dis-
proportionately affected by long-term recessions, cri-
ses, and economic restructuring and they often miss 
out on many of the benefits of growth. 
(5) International trade can be an important tool 
of economic development and poverty reduction and 
its benefits should extend to all members of society, 
particularly the world’s poor women. 
(6) Promoting fair labor practices for women, 
and access to information, education, land, credit, 
physical capital, and social services is a means of 
boosting productivity and earnings for the economies 
of developing nations. For example, according to the 
World Bank, in sub-Saharan Africa, inequality be-
tween men and women in employment and education

suppressed annual per capita growth during the pe-
riod 1960–1992 by .8 percentage points per year. 
(7) Expanding economic opportunity for women 
in developing countries can have a positive effect on 
child nutrition, health, and education, as women 
often invest their income in their families. Increasing 
women’s income can also decrease women’s vulner-
ability to HIV/AIDS, gender-based violence, and 
trafficking, and make them more resistant to the im-
pact of natural disasters. 
(8) Economic opportunities for women, includ-
ing microfinance and microenterprise development 
and the promotion of women’s small- and medium- 
sized businesses, are a means of generating gainful, 
safe, and dignified employment for the poor. 
(9) Women play a vital, but often unrecognized, 
role in averting violence, resolving conflict, and re-
building economies in post-conflict societies. Women 
in conflict-affected areas face even greater challenges 
in accessing employment, training, property rights, 
credit, and financial and non-financial resources for 
business development. Ensuring economic oppor-
tunity for women in conflict-affected areas plays a 
significant role in economic rehabilitation and con-
solidation of peace.
