Abstract

In 2004 the World Bank launched Doing Business, a program that annually measures business regulations and their enforcement in different economies around the world. It also supplies information on the ease of doing business, ranks the cities studied, and offers recommendations for improving their indexes. In 2007, 178 economies were measured, while 181 were slated for measurement in 2008. As part of this initiative, the World Bank will also incorporate a program that investigates how regulations affect both businesses in general and woman-owned businesses in particular.
