What is human development

In the context of the Commission on the Status of Women 2015, this panel examined the progress in achieving gender equality in different dimensions of human development. Based on previous evidence, the panel discussed the current status of women in terms of capabilities, opportunities, and empowerment, as well as the key barriers and disadvantages women are facing in achieving full potential. Special emphasis was put on how we quantify gender disparities in different dimensions of human development and what are the challenges. The discussion addressed possible ways forward and related policy implications.
