Full Description
The Haiti Gender Scorecard 2025 provides a comprehensive analysis of gender gaps across multiple dimensions of development in Haiti. The document examines key indicators aligned with the World Bank Gender Strategy 2024-2030, comparing Haiti's performance against regional Latin American and Caribbean averages, structural peers (lower-middle income countries), and aspirational benchmarks from top-performing countries in gender equality. The scorecard reveals significant gender disparities in areas such as digital access, where women have 18 percentage points lower internet access than men, financial inclusion with a 5.3 percentage point gap in account ownership favoring men, and concerning levels of intimate partner violence affecting more than 1 in 10 women. The analysis also highlights positive trends where women outperform men, such as in secondary school completion rates, while identifying areas where men face disadvantages, including higher rates of vulnerable employment and lower life expectancy. The document concludes with evidence-based policy recommendations and interventions designed to address these persistent gender gaps across education, economic opportunities, health, and safety domains.
