This chapter aims to provide a deeper understanding of their underlying drivers of gender gaps. Accordingly, Chapter 2 discusses the descriptive findings from the Gallup– ILO 2017 study and develops a framework for analysing the drivers and mechanisms underlying gender gaps in the labour market. This framework is then applied in a manner to quantify the drivers of lower female labour force participation and is followed by an assessment of gender gaps in the workplace.
