In a Facebook post, the World Bank announced that the report measures eight indicators with 35 questions that are structured about women's interaction with the law, from when they begin their career, continue to progress until the end of their career.
These indicators are travel that measures restrictions on freedom of movement, including whether they can independently decide where to go, where to travel and where to live, the beginning of the work that analyzes the laws affecting women's decisions to enter the labour market, the payment that measures the laws that affect professional secretation, and the difference in wages by gender, the marriage that evaluates the legal restrictions on marriage, the birth of children that investigate the laws affecting women's post - pregnancy work, the business leadership that analyzes restrictions for women and businesses, nor the guidance of gender differences in the right of retirement and pension claims that affect women's size.
Kosovo has the maximum rating of 6 out of 8 indicators of this index. The two indicators where reforms are still required are the Child Birth and Pension.
Kosovo has received only 60 of the possible 100 points in the children's indicator because the government does not pay 100% of maternity rest benefits or parenting benefits, and because there is no paid parental rest, as well as 75 of the possible 100 points in the retirement indicator because in Kosovo the law does not provide special pension advantages for the time spent in child care.
Only six countries of Belgium, Denmark, France, Latvia, Luxembourg and Sweden have scored the perfect score of 100 points, which means they give equal legal rights to women and men in the discreet fields.
The study develops new knowledge of how women's employment and entrepreneurship are influenced by legal discrimination, and then how this affects economic results, such as participation of women in the labour market.
The new index aims to lay the foundation for a map of progress over time and to identify potential areas where there is a need for more work to inspire reforms that benefit gender equality.
