Policies to expand trade and to promote Bhutan´s unique overall goal of maximizing "gross national happiness" should be linked to strategies for educating women and enhancing their positions in society and in the economy, a new UNCTAD study says.

The study, Who is benefiting from trade liberalization in Bhutan? A gender perspective, is one of a series being carried out by the Organization to analyse the gender effects of trade in developing countries, in particular least developed countries (LDCs). Other UNCTAD studies are focusing on situations in LDCs Lesotho, Rwanda and Angola; in Cape Verde, a country that recently graduated from LDC status; and in Uruguay, a developing country that is not an LDC.
