The review focuses on changes in labor force participation, employment, income, and empowerment outcomes. The goal is to document what has worked and what has not for women in the region (covering all countries: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka), the types of interventions implemented, and identifiable gaps in knowledge and action. The review organizes interventions in six broad categories: skills, assets, credit, labor market, entrepreneurship, and empowerment. This note summarizes the main findings from asset transfer interventions and changes in inheritance and property right policies.enCC BY 3.0 IGOWOMEN’S ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENTPATRIARCHAL NORMSGENDERED LEGISLATIONHUMAN RIGHTSGENDER GAPSPROPERTY OWNERSHIP RIGHTSASSET OWNERSHIP RIGHTSGENDER INNOVATION LAB (SAR GIL)BriefWorld Bank10.1596/38078
