The CRWJ is a research initiative led by the World Bank's Development Research Group in collaboration with the Bank's regional Gender Innovation Labs and other researchers in the World Bank Group.
The CRWJ’s mission is to enhance the policy relevance and impact of research on women and jobs by coordinating research efforts, amplifying their reach, and promoting the use of robust, high-quality evidence.
The Center has three strategic goals:
Foster cross-regional and cross-sectoral collaboration, knowledge exchange, and learning on expanding women’s access to jobs, supporting job creation, and strengthening the resilience of those jobs.
Disseminate research on women and jobs to enhance its accessibility, relevance, and uptake, both inside the World Bank and externally.
Identify and promote a strategic research agenda on women and jobs, including priority areas to inform World Bank teams and external partners.
