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.

Women market vendors have the ability to succeed and advance economically
Supportive and enabling marketplace environments are empowering women market vendors in the Solomon Islands to thrive and advance economically. This has included the institutionalising of policies and practices that are addressing gender biases in the markets and promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women. In 2022, the development of the public market ordinances, and the implementation of established ongoing SOPs and other marketplace plans are ensuring women market vendors’ inclusion and protection. In addition, enhanced gender-responsive capacities of duty bearers such as local governments and market management at the point of day-to-day market operations are creating experiences for women market vendors where they feel safe, secure, content and empowered to participate in market activities (apart from selling their goods and produce). This includes leading market vendor associations, actively participating and speaking at market meetings and claiming their rights. Membership of MVAs have also given women market vendors access to information, resources and goods to further progress their economic participation and growth.Disclaimer and notes
