WBL: Legal Framework, Entrepreneurship, Score (scale 0-100)
The Entrepreneurship topic legal framework score measures legal constraints to a woman’s ability to start and run a business and assesses the existence of enabling provisions, including non-discrimination in access to credit provisions, gender-responsive criteria in public procurement laws, and binding quotas for women on public corporate boards. 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. For details on underlying questions and scoring assumptions, please refer to the WBL Methodology Handbook (link: https://wbl.worldbank.org/content/dam/sites/wbl/documents/2026/WBL-Methodology-Handbook-2026-FINAL.pdf).
