What can you do together to it to actually ensure that the labor force participation rates go up for women? So many women are in the informal economy, so I’d love to hear you. If we look at the gender gap report broadly, we are really doing across countries a much better job on education and health than in labor force participation, including pay equity and political engagements. So love to hear you maybe brainstorm a little about what we can do. 

I think that we definitely need to set up a common agenda and strategy, and I will take it from what Dan was commenting on. I think that one of the key points where we can help women, both women and men when we're the boss, is really to encourage women. I have found so many times that women feel they are not prepared for a challenge. When you have men, they're always ready for a position, and I think that that's part of the education because really when you go through education - the type of sports, for example, that boys used to do – they are more risk takers than what girls typically do. And it starts from there. So it's very important that we as leaders really encourage women to go through different challenges.

Our deep expertise, powerful insights, and real-world solutions help the people and organizations we serve take steps today to secure a better tomorrow.
