    Since the 1959 revolution, the Cuban state has committed to women's empowerment and enacted a series of laws and policies to promote women's equal and active participation in all spheres of life. Sources agree that Cuba has made remarkable progress towards women's economic empowerment and gender equality, notably thanks to the provision of universal and free education, state employment opportunities, equal pay for equal work, maternity protection, and childcare facilities. However, it is also increasingly acknowledged - by the state itself - that these measures have been unable to bring about full equality and challenge deeply entrenched gendered social norms about women's and men's roles in the family and in society. This report is part of a study that explores the following research questions within the Cuban context: 1. What is the relationship between sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and social norms? 2. What is the relationship between women's economic empowerment and social norms? 3. What policies and interventions have been implemented to address SRH, women’s economic empowerment and related social norms?

    Addressing adolescent girls' persistent economic disadvantage is the focus of multiple interventions for girls in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to reduce youth unemployment, poverty and vulnerability. While the importance of these interventions is well understood, what works to strengthen girls' economic capabilities is much less well known. This rapid evidence review focuses on evaluated interventions that target adolescent girls in LMICs with economic strategies that seek to promote their economic capabilities and empower them. The review examines 57 interventions, grouped into three categories: interventions providing financial education and/or financial assets; vocational and/or business skills training interventions; and integrated interventions providing a combination of support services, including an economic component. The review synthesises evidence on the positive impact these interventions had, and identifies the gaps in our knowledge about which strategies are most effective. All three groups of interventions demonstrated the potential to improve girls' economic capabilities. However, significant evidence gaps remain and more research is needed to determine, for example, the optimal duration and intensity of programmes, the relationship between girls' economic empowerment and their vulnerability to violence and early marriage, and what is effective in certain regions and settings.
