Description

Tax systems and policies in the Asia and Pacific region contribute to—or hinder—gender equality in several socioeconomic dimensions, including labor force participation and the distribution of income and household unpaid care.

This report assesses key aspects of fiscal policies and legislation that affect gender equality by establishing a comprehensive baseline of reliable legal and tax information, supported by economy-specific case studies. It emphasizes the need for further gender analysis and underscores the potential of tax policies to drive desired socioeconomic outcomes, enhance labor force participation, and mitigate the widening gender gaps resulting from these factors.
