The global Prindex survey provides comparative and representative evidence of women’s perceptions of the security of their land and property rights. This report draws on this data to examine gender differences across a wide spectrum of countries and provide evidence relevant to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

Policy makers often focus on expanding access to formal documentation to improve tender security. Yet Prindex data reveals that formalisation does not always shift how secure people feel in their property rights.

This report uses household-level data from 33, mostly developing, countries to analyse perceptions of tenure insecurity among women. We test two hypotheses: (1) that women feel more insecure than men; and (2) that increasing statutory protections for women, for instance by issuing joint named titles or making inheritance law more gender equal, increases de facto tenure security.
