A woman can register a business in the same way as a man (1=yes; 0=no)

This indicator assesses the equality of women's rights in the entrepreneurial landscape by evaluating the existence of legal and procedural barriers that may hinder a woman's ability to register a business independently. It highlights whether women are subjected to additional requirements, such as needing consent from male guardians, or if they face a more complex registration process compared to their male counterparts. By identifying these obstacles, the indicator provides critical insight into the wider socio-economic environment for women entrepreneurs. A value of '1' reflects an enabling legal framework that fosters gender equality in business registration, while a '0' signals persistent inequities that may deter women from starting or formalizing their enterprises, ultimately impacting economic growth and empowerment.
