RG-T3564 : Gender Gaps in the Caribbean: Shifting the Narrative to Include Masculinity

The main objective of this TC is to use results obtained from time series analysis and survey methods to place masculinity on the public policy agenda in the Caribbean. The data will provide empirical evidence on male youth decision-makings in critical areas, inform national policies and support the Bank in the design of projects intended for the Caribbean region. The specific objective of the TC is to (i) assess the extent to which concepts of manhood influence young men's life decisions as well as their behaviors and attitudes on gender; and (ii) analyze gender gaps in educational attainment and employment paths during a 25 years period.
