WBL: Legal Framework, Assets, Score (scale 0-100)

The Assets topic legal frameworks score measures gender differences in property and inheritance law, assessing women’s equal access to immovable assets including land, administrative authority over property, and Inheritance rights. It is divided into four indicators, some of which consist of several questions. It is calculated as the unweighted average of the indicator scores in the topic and rescaled to a 0–100 scale, where 0 represents the lowest possible score and 100 the highest possible score.
