Notes: This table summarizes the gender norms from the Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence (GAGE) Bangladesh quantitative survey. All variables are constructed to take a value of 1 if the response is gendered and 0 otherwise. The mean of these variables is then constructed at the community level. Means are weighted to make them representative of the study communities.
