This area of work is rooted in integrating gender-responsive frameworks into policy research and institutional analysis. By interrogating disparities in financial inclusion, labor force participation, and control over productive assets, the approach identifies structural barriers that hinder equitable participation in economic systems. Methodologies emphasize intersectionality, ensuring that both women and other historically marginalized groups are visible within developmental agendas. The research supports the formulation of inclusive strategies that not only recognize differential impacts but also promote redistributive justice in policy design. The goal is to inform governance and programming that advance gender-equitable growth, foster agency, and catalyze social mobility through targeted, evidence-informed pathways.
