A woman can open a bank account in the same way as a man (1=yes; 0=no)

This indicator evaluates the legal framework surrounding a woman's ability to independently open a bank account, focusing on the existence of any barriers that may hinder her financial autonomy compared to men. It explores whether women face additional legal requirements, such as extra documentation or permissions specific to their gender, or if there are laws that impose restrictions based on marital status or employment. By examining these factors, the indicator sheds light on the broader implications of gender equality in financial inclusion, highlighting the importance of women’s equal access to banking services as a crucial element in promoting economic empowerment, decision-making autonomy, and overall societal progress.
