It uses empirical evidence and the Gender Assessment framework from the World Development Report on Gender Equality and Development (WDR 2012) to analyze legal and institutional arrangements, health and education endowments, labor market participation, care needs and provision, job segregation, wage gaps, entrepreneurship and financial inclusion, voice and agency, attitudes, political participation, and violence against women. The assessment highlights persistent disparities despite recent progress.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nSERBIA  \nCOUNTRY GENDER ASSESSMENT  \nCountry Gender Assessment Serbia  2  \nMay 2024  \n© 2024 The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development/  \nThe 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.
