WBL: Legal Framework Index (scale 0-100)

The index refers to the composite measure (0–100) that summarizes how legal frameworks shape women’s economic opportunities across ten topics: Safety, Mobility, Work, Pay, Marriage, Parenthood, Childcare, Entrepreneurship, Assets, and Pension. It is calculated by taking the unweighted average of the ten topic scores, with 100 representing the highest possible score and 0 the lowest. For details, please refer to the WBL Methodology Handbook (link: https://wbl.worldbank.org/content/dam/sites/wbl/documents/2026/WBL-Methodology-Handbook-2026-FINAL.pdf)
