Women forging Economic Growth is the way forward…
The Woman Entrepreneur Is The Gateway To Household Stability
Women’s World Banking
Imagine a world of opportunity, only it’s not for you. Not because of anything you’ve done, but because of your sex and the gender roles assigned to it. Women account for one-half of the potential human capital in any economy. More than half a billion women have joined the world’s work force over the past 30 years, and they make up 40% of the agriculture labor force. Yet, women hold fewer assets, earn less, own a fraction of the world’s enterprises, and are often denied more opportunities than men, even when they have the same or higher level of education. Women are key drivers of economic growth. In order to eradicate extreme poverty and build vibrant economies, women must gain access to and control of capital, land, markets, education, and leadership opportunities.
