Assessing and Addressing the Gender Gap
10:30 am - 11:30 am
Location:
Breakout Tent 2
The global gender gap — how resources and opportunities are unequally divided between male and female populations — is widening, and outcomes for women in the workforce worldwide are worsening. How can businesses be a part of empowering women to succeed, supporting gender equality and unleashing the full potential of women to drive sustainable economic growth? This workshop will reveal the full spectrum of ways companies can have positive impacts on women and girls — starting by assessing strengths, gaps and opportunities in existing policies and programs.
