Gemeinsam mit Univ.-Ass. Dr. Verena Vinzenz von der Universität Innsbruck fungiert Prof. Reissner seit 2016 als Österreich-Berichterstatter (Universität) für das Projekt „Women, Business and the Law“ der World Bank Group. Soeben ist der Women, Business and the Law 2021 report publiziert worden. Dazu das WBL-Team:
„Women, Business and the Law 2021 is the seventh in a series of reports that provide objective measures of legal and regulatory barriers to women’s entrepreneurship and employment in 190 economies. Amidst a global pandemic that threatens progress toward gender equality, the report identifies barriers to women’s economic participation and encourages reform of discriminatory laws. This year, the study also includes important findings on government responses to the COVID-19 crisis and pilot research related to childcare and women’s access to justice. For more information, including a new data visualization tool, please visit our website at https://wbl.worldbank.org. The website allows for comparisons of the data at both the indicator and economy levels.“
