Men and women have LEGAL FRAMEWORK equal ownership and inheritance rights to property. The default marital property regime is partial community of property. There are laws restricting the industries in which women may work. More specifically, there are restrictions regarding the em- ployment of women in the areas of mining and jobs requiring lifting weights above a threshold. Women are entitled to 196 calendar days of maternity leave with 70% of wages paid. Parents are entitled to an additional 1,095 days of partially paid parental leave. The law guarantees pregnant and nursing women workplace protections from dismissal, placement in an equivalent position when they return from maternity leave, and rights to a flexible schedule. The law stipulates public provision of childcare for chil- dren under the age of primary education. The age at which both men and women can retire and receive full benefits is 66.

ABOUT THE DATA Where possible, data is from harmonized regionally comparable sources. All numbers based on microdata in this document calculated by the Europe and Central Asia Team for Statistical Development (ECATSD) are produced using the 2005 PPPs, as the use of the 2011 PPPs in the calculation of global poverty estimates still requires additional analysis. This note was produced by the Poverty Global Practice at the World Bank Group. All indicators are as of 03/19/15 QUESTIONS?
