The Jordan Country Gender Assessment (CGA) aims to report on the developments in Jordan's economy and quality of life,while focusing on the lack of increases in economic participation and the lack of increases in women's participation in political and social life. The objectives of this report are: to assess gender imbalances in access to justice and in economic participation in the labor market; to provide a framework for policies and interventions to the Government of Jordan on addressing imbalances; to provide a basis for implementing the activities included in the Gender Action Plan; to develop and strengthen partnerships with the Government of Jordan agencies and academic institutions; to promote collaboration on addressing gender-related issues impacting development; and to develop mechanisms for cooperation on implementation of the Gender Action Plan. The report found that: policies are needed to reduce gender-based segregation and remove barriers that prevent women from working in high productivity sectors; the education system needs to be reformed to better equip young women with the skills demanded by the private sector; the perception of the "additional cost" of hiring a woman versus a man must be reduced; legal reforms are needed to ensure greater equality and increased agency; women need greater control over economic assets; and services supporting access to justice need to be better aligned with women’s needs.
