Suriname's Minister Walden concludes that family employment and protection act provides job security and enables women to stay part of the workforce … even after having children. Government supports gender equality. Gender equality is associated with economic development. Suriname is on the right track – president has encouraged more women to be politically informed. When women are engaged in the political process, they participate in writing gender equality  laws.

Responding to question from Kokila Rajanikanth, Srilanka on pensions in Sri Lanka: Pensions are among the areas covered by the Women, Business and the Law report. Unfortunately, only 3 economies announced changes increasing gender equality in 2019-20. It’s one area where more reforms are needed.
