Women's economic empowerment is essential for more inclusive growth in Cambodia. This publication takes stock of major gender issues in the Cambodian economy seen through the lens of women's participation, benefit, and agency—the three prerequisites for a fairer distribution of growth benefits. It examines labor market trends and obstacles to women's economic empowerment—particularly in agriculture, business development, and wage employment. Labor migration and vulnerability to shocks are highlighted as special themes.
