Overwhelmingly we've put attention on women entrepreneurs in the gender in global trade agenda. That's important. It's very important. But the lion's share of women in the developing world work in the informal economy. They're wage earners or they're entrepreneurs in the informal economy.
We don't have very good tools for assessing the impact of all sorts of things in the lives of women working in the informal economy, but particularly trade. You've probably come across this, but the OECD has done a great report, one of the best reports, on the status of women in the Pacific Alliance. However, they are unable to come up with good methodological tools to study the impact of proposed trade deals on women who are not in the formal economy.
That raises much bigger questions, though, about whether the objective of these initiatives is to bring women into the formal economy, to transition women out of the informal economy into the formal economy. It raises a whole host of other issues. I think it's important to think about how that would change these women's lives. We have a data problem, but we also have an ideological problem.
