Why and how do inclusive development and decent work align with the concept of shared prosperity? How do women’s roles in social and economic situations impact these issues? Why does this matter for women’s and girl’s rights? How do the contributions (or lack thereof) of women and girls contribute to the larger goals of shared prosperity?

Overview

We start this section by looking at definitions of inclusive development, shared prosperity, and decent work in the context of women and girls. We will also look at the context of women and girls in relation to the Beijing Platform for Action and the 12 Critical Areas of Concern, exploring broad patterns during the last 25 years related to inclusive development, shared prosperity, and decent work.
