The WDR has been produced on an annual basis since 1978 and is the World Bank’s major analytical publication. This edition looks at facts and trends on the various dimensions of gender equality in the context of the development process. It argues that gender equality is a core development issue—a primary objective of development in its own right. The point of departure for this Report is a view of development as a process of expanding freedoms equally for men and women.
