Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: Increasing women`s economic participation is not yet universally accepted despite three decades of global advocacy; and women empowerment and gender equality are still a work in progress. A mechanism that can be tapped to promote women`s economic participation is the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). This Policy Note outlines some recommendations on how to enhance women`s participation in the APEC economies. The recommendations are organized into two strands: at the level of the national economy and at the regional level.

Keywords: women; APEC; women entrepreneurs; small and medium enterprises (SMEs); APEC Women and Economy Forum (WEF); women’s economic empowerment; women’s competitiveness; trade environment. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
