This is attributed to growing awareness of the need to address gender inequalities; While almost all countries in the Pacific have adopted specific gender policies and strategies, the resources for integrating and implementing these priorities are limited. Budgets for national women’s offices are less than one percent of national appropriations; Gender inequality is highlighted by the high prevalence rates of violence against women (more than 60 percent in Melanesia, and more than 40 percent in Polynesia and Micronesia). Sexual and reproductive health and rights issues also remain substantial challenges to be addressed under Goal 5. Fertility rates, especially teenage fertility, remain high in some.

(1) Gender Gap Index (GGI) is compiled by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and consists of four sub-indices: "economic participation and opportunity," "educational attainment," "health and survival," and "political empowerment." It measures the gender differences in the allocation of social resources and opportunities. Our country calculates it according to the WEF formula. (2) Explanation: (1) GGI measures the gender equality gap, with a value between 0 and 1, where higher values are better. (2) Our country's data is calculated by the central authority according to the WEF formula. The calculation of the composite index for each year is based on the main data from the WEF's indicators. WEF sets equal standards for the female-to-male ratio for each indicator, with the exception of health life expectancy for females to males (1.06) and the sex ratio at birth (0.944), which are used as the baseline. Ratios exceeding the equal standard are replaced by the equal standard value.

This study explores the willingness to compete among native Dutch individuals and non-Western migrants in the Netherlands, with a particular focus on first-generation non-Western migrant women. Drawing upon existing literature on competitiveness and career preferences, this research suggests that non-Western migrants, especially the first generation of non-Western migrant women, may exhibit different levels of competitiveness compared to the native Dutch population or native Dutch women. This aspect is crucial for understanding the challenges non-Western immigrant women encounter in the job market and broader societal contexts. Utilizing data from two existing experiments conducted within the publicly accessible LISS framework, our research findings reveal that first generation of non-Western women demonstrate a higher propensity for competition than their Dutch counterparts do. Notably, this pattern is not replicated among non-Western men participants in all generations. The results align with research on gender equality and competitiveness in the countries of origin. In nations like the Netherlands, where gender equality is relatively high, notable differences in competitive preferences between native women and men are observed. However, this disparity is less pronounced among first-generation non-Western migrant women from countries with lower levels of gender equality. Additionally, the study uncovers variations in competitive preferences between native Dutch and non-Western migrant women within the same societal setting. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex interactions among ethnicity, competitiveness, and gender dynamics in Dutch society.
