    Gender inequalities are one of the major causes of poverty worldwide. Around 70 percent of the world’s poor are women, of which the majority are rural women from developing countries. The gender team at UNDP is undertaking a mapping exercise to identify existing legislation and policy frameworks on women as co-managers and co-owners in family business/farms including fisheries. In Bulgaria, family businesses are deemed to be businesses co-owned by both spouses. Co-ownership of a business by both spouses is presumed in the case of self-employment or sole proprietorship unless there are contractual agreements determining otherwise or otherwise proved in litigation.
