  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. Women manage only about one quarter of all businesses of the world and are half less likely to initiate an entrepreneur venture than men. Labor force participation of women in the world is 47 percent, 25 percentage points lower than men. Ukraine is one of the countries where Constitution affords equality of men and women to be ensured amongst others work by creating conditions that allow women to combine work and motherhood; legal protection, material and moral support of motherhood and childhood, granting paid leaves and other privileges to pregnant women and mothers inclusive. It also provides for equality of rights and duties for spouses in the marriage and family. The Constitution also guarantees the right to own, use and dispose of property as well as the results of one`s creative and intellectual activity as well as entrepreneurial activity, for as long as such activity is not prohibited by law.
