Doing Business 2017 Equal Opportunity for All. World Bank Group Flagship Report 14th Edition 357p

The report compares the regulations and conditions for business creation and development in 190 economies. In this 14th edition, for the first time, it analyzes in depth the inequality between women and men for creating and nurturing a business. It finds that in 155 economies women do not have the same rights as men, let alone the supportive environment so important to nurturing entrepreneurship. Doing Business gives a gender dimension to 3 of its 11 indicators to account for the discriminatory practices.
