What this means in daily life
A women’s impact assessment should ask what a policy changes in daily life and who bears the costs. It needs evidence about safety, mobility, health, work, care and opportunity, with a clear route for revising harmful decisions.
An impact assessment needs to consider changes in time and unpaid care as well as formal spending or employment. The proposed process would ask affected groups about those consequences and explain how a harmful design can be revised.

Evidence Snapshot
Read each value with its reporting period, population and limitations. A historical national reference is not a local baseline or proof that an IFT proposal works.
5 measurement records still need data and a review of their relevance.
