Women at the wheel: Asset financing to empower women in the transportation sector
Project Active from to Sustainable Growth, Firms and Trade
Pakistan’s female labour force participation rate is low, and public transport is often unsafe for women. This project scales up a pilot offering security-enhanced auto-rickshaws to female job seekers. It tests two distinct vehicle financing products and studies the impact of social norms on women’s labour participation through surveys and behavioural games.
