This Measuring Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE) Compendium selects and reviews tools for measuring women’s economic empowerment (or disempowerment) grouped into 20 population monitoring tools (PM) and 15 monitoring and evaluation tools (M&E). The main objective is practical: helping readers both understand how different measurement tools are built and select among the most well-known and widely (cross-culturally) applicable tools for different purposes. The compendium includes 1) an overview of existing WEE measurement tools; 2) a systematic evaluation of the tools’ technical content; and 3) a structured inventory of the tools’ indicators.
