Gender inequality in the labor market remains a pressing problem of contemporary Africa. Notwithstanding the existence of large variations across countries with regard to male and female labor market outcomes, available evidence shows that in several countries of the region women are less likely to be in paid work, they are disproportionately concentrated in informal and precarious employment, and they are paid substantially less. Assessing and comparing the extent and the nature of women disadvantages in Africa's labor markets remains a challenge, however. Indepth comparative analyses are lacking, largely because reliable and comparable comprehensive data have been for a long time hardly available.The objective of this study, a collaboration between the World Bank and the Agence franaise de dveloppement (AFD), is to contribute to fillin an important knowledge gap regarding the extent and the nature of gender disparities in Africas labor markets. The study is novel in providing a comparative analysis based on standardized nationally representative surveydata for several SubSaharan Africa countries and one North Africa country: The countries are: Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Cte dIvoire, Ethiopia, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritania, Mauritius, Morocco, Mozambique, Nigeria, Republic of Congo, Sao Tome and Principe, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. It also offers a more indepth gender analysis by using a comprehensive set of labor market indicators disaggregated by location, age groups and consumption quintiles, and several sophisticated micro and macro techniques.
