All employees face challenges when faced with workplace fraud or corruption. Women in particular may also face the additional hurdle of workplace discrimination. This can make their jobs feel even more precarious, or their voice more at risk of being ignored.

Key findings: The impact of economic empowerment interventions on child marriage
Economic empowerment interventions can delay marriage in a relatively short time, but the effects are often stronger or only evident among younger adolescents. This is shown in evidence from girl-focused interventions in Bangladesh,2 Liberia3 and Uganda,4 and one household-focused intervention in India.5 A household-level intervention in rural Ethiopia6 showed delayed marriage among younger adolescents, but increased child marriage prevalence among older adolescent girls aged 15 to 19.
Livelihood skills – including financial literacy – reduce child marriage and increase adolescent girls’ employment, access to and/or control over resources, and/or their economic autonomy. In Bangladesh, girls in communities exposed to the economic empowerment arm of the BAKILA programme – which offered 144 hours of life-skills and livelihood training – were 23% less likely to marry before age 18 than the control group.7
