in the apec region don't have the same inheritance rights as men. so they can't inherit property or businesses owned by their fathers. some don't have the power to confer citizensship on their children, so their families have less access to housing and education, and they must constantly renew residency permits, making it harder for them to work. some are even subject to different taxes than men. too often they are denied access to credit and may even be prohibited from opening bank accounts, signing contracts, purchasing property, incorporating a business or filing lawsuits without a male guardian. some women earn almost as much as men before they have children, but less afterwards, and even less if they are single mothers. these barriers and restrictions some formal, some informal, erode women's abilities to participate fully in their economies and to support their families whether as employees or entrepreneurs. these barriers are certainly not unique to this region. variations of them can be found everywhere in the world. but because this is the most dynamic economic region in th
