Estimates from the World Bank suggest that achieving gender parity in employment could increase income per capita by about 20 percent on average across all countries, while also resulting in social gains, such as improvements in children’s well-being. The potential benefits of gender parity in employment are highest in countries with low female participation in the labor force, but both developed and developing countries could gain from greater involvement of women in decision-making positions. While gender biases are often passed off as cultural norms, experiences from around the world teach us that such biases can be overcome through systematic programs that support women’s work through child-care, enhanced access to finance, and educational programs, among other gender-sensitive interventions. Taking a global approach, the panelists will explore lessons on how to stimulate economic growth by tapping into the female potential.
