"Between June 2010 and February 2011, World Bank teams traveled to 19 countries from 6 developing regions to hear first-hand about how men and women experience gender in their everyday lives. The researchers met separately with small groups of males and females from three generations, convening a total of 500 groups with 4,000 individuals."

In other words, this report only includes about 500 families and the women from 19 third world countries, and does not include any western countries or more successful countries.

There are 196 countries in the world. This study only covers 19 of the very poorest!

Therefore, the headline that "Women Hold Just One Percent Of The World's Wealth: World Bank" is vastly misleading.
