The aim of this report is to identify binding constraints to women’s economic empowerment in the DRC and identify promising entry points to unbind these constraints. This report makes three core contributions. It provides: i) a comprehensive picture of gender gaps across the country, ii) an in-depth analysis of underlying drivers of the observed gender gaps, and iii) concrete policy and programmatic guidance on how to close the gender gaps. The report also finds important regional variation in these gender gaps, with the largest disparities generally observed in the northeastern, northwestern and southern regions of the DRC. An in-depth investigation of the observed gender gaps utilizes the Kitagawa-Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition methodology to isolate factors contributing to gender gaps. The methodology decomposes the gender gap into two main components: an endowment effect and a structural effect. The endowment effect captures the difference in the levels of resources that women have relative to men, while the structural effect refers to the portion of the gender gap that exists because of differences in the returns to these resources. While the results cannot be interpreted as causal, authors denote variables that are both theoretically and empirically linked to greater gender disparities as ‘drivers.’
