A woman can work in a job deemed dangerous in the same way as a man (1=yes; 0=no)

This indicator evaluates the legal landscape surrounding women's employment in roles classified as hazardous or strenuous, highlighting the extent to which gender-specific restrictions are in place. By examining the existence of laws that either permit or disallow nonpregnant and non-nursing women from engaging in these high-risk occupations, the indicator sheds light on the societal and legal frameworks influencing women's career choices. A value of "1" signifies an absence of such prohibitive laws, suggesting greater equality in occupational freedom, while a "0" indicates legal barriers that may perpetuate gender discrimination in the workplace. Understanding these dynamics is essential for assessing progress toward gender equity and empowering women to pursue careers traditionally dominated by men. Source:
