In the world, many women are at risk of being exposed to economic, physical, sexual, psychological, and emotional violence, or even intentional homicide. They might also be exposed to discrimination based on their socio-demographic characteristics, such as their ethnic background, religion, and educational level.
The purpose of this book is to bring together academics and researchers working in the fields of applied econometrics and applied statistics as they pertain to women's issues. The twelve-chapter book includes insights on present econometric and statistical methodologies on women's issues, as well as a better understanding and evaluation of contemporary policy implications, initiatives, and procedures pertaining to women.
