Tóm tắt

Women are often overrepresented among the poorest and the most vulnerable. Due to various factors limiting their opportunities, including care responsibilities and gender norms, many either remain outside the workforce or engage in informal employment within precarious sectors lacking crucial safeguards. The Africa Gender Innovation Lab (GIL) has been generating rigorous evidence to understand what works, and what does not, in supporting women with social protection interventions. This brief provides an overview of these key research findings from Sub-Saharan Africa, highlighting insights and design considerations from social protection programs that have demonstrated positive outcomes for women while also deriving conclusions from programs that don't work.
