The assessment highlights achievements alongside persistent gaps in labor market outcomes, entrepreneurship, earnings, and unpaid labor burdens. Drawing on extensive data from health, education, labor market dynamics, and evidence on gender-based violence, the report updates and complements the 2013 country gender assessment.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nMONTENEGRO  \nCOUNTRY GENDER ASSESSMENT  \nCountry Gender Assessment Montenegro  2  \nMay 2024  \n© 2024 The International Bank for Reconstruction  \nand Development/The World Bank  \n1818 H Street NW  \nWashington, D.C. 20433  \n[Internet: www.worldbank.org](Internet: www.worldbank.org)  \nAll rights reserved  \nPrinted and manufactured in Washington, D.C.  \nFirst Printing: [May 2024]  \nThis volume is a product of the staff of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development/The World Bank.
