World Bank Income Classification:Low Income
The World Bank classifies economies for analytical purposes into four income groups: low, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high income. For this purpose it uses gross national income (GNI) per capita data in U.S. dollars, converted from local currency using the World Bank Atlas method, which is applied to smooth exchange rate fluctuations.
Least Developed Country:Yes
Since 1971, the United Nations has recognized LDCs as a category of States that are deemed highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical and also geographical reasons. Three criteria are used: per capita income, human assets, and economic vulnerability.
Gender Inequality Index:0.575
GII is a composite metric of gender inequality using three dimensions: reproductive health, empowerment and the labour market. A low GII value indicates low inequality between women and men, and vice-versa.
Gender Development Index:0.723
GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health, education, and command over economic resources.

Economic migration is safe and regular for migrant women and girls
A lack of sustainable livelihood options, stemming from climate change, are important reasons for migration as are entrenched gender inequalities. Thus, it is critical that national migration policies recognize and address the specific needs, challenges and situations of vulnerability of all women in migration, as well as provide potential migrant women with viable alternatives to migration.

UN Women reports on this indicator in a global scope, signified by "(Desk Review)" at the end of the indicator statement (see the Our Global Results page for the global result)
Common indicators are those that appear verbatim the same in at least two entities' results frameworks and are drawn, where possible, directly from other globally agreed frameworks.
Common
Complementary indicators are identified as those in the results framework that are not repeated verbatim in the results framework of another United Nations entity, but are related or provide different but complementary lenses or insights into the same issue, high-level result and/or area of complementary work, such as a Sustainable Development Goal target.

The socio-economic protection for migrant women is strengthened by improving services for them
Data reported for 2022 results against this indicator was obtained as part of a learning process on social norms and therefore may not accurately reflect the results obtained. Internal reviews of data collected on social norms across relevant indicators, coupled with external reviews, are informing the design of UN Women’s principled approach to social & gender norms change. This will be reflected in changes to the indicators to be introduced in the Mid-Term Review of the Strategic Plan.

ON track: At the normative level, UN Women supported a gender analysis of Niger's National Migration Policy in 2022 and subsequently initiated a revision of the policy's current action plan to make existing activities gender sensitive in collaboration with the Ministry of Interior. The dialogues at the workshops were based on the Policy Guide and practices developed by UN Women under Outcome 3 and provided participants with knowledge of the legal framework for migration at the national and international level, with a focus on the National Migration Policy and the Global Compact on Migration.Revising the current policy action plan to make existing activities gender sensitive in collaboration with the Ministry of Interior.
