Women's Empowerment Data for Gender Equality, or WEDGE, is a project headed by Sonalde Desai and Feinian Chen from the University of Maryland.  Our goals are to promote better measurement of women's economic empowerment in the global South and to connect scholars, activists, and others in the field with current trends in improved measurement.  Please view here a curated selection of our current work and that of our colleagues in this area, separated into broad yet interrelated categories.  We are also engaged in innovative projects exploring different aspects of measuring women's empowerment, which can be viewed on our Projects pages.
