Women’s leadership can enhance long-term economic, environmental, and social outcomes, as well as governance gains: it is correlated with higher net profit margins for firms and lower CO2 emissions. In addition, leveraging women’s economic empowerment in the productive sectors, including agriculture and goods and services produced in the formal and informal sectors by entrepreneurs are contributing to improved food security, job creation, productivity growth and private sector development. Gender equality and empowerment are central to addressing crises, from food insecurity and climate change, to conflict, fragility and violence. Studies estimate economic gains in the order of $5-6 trillion if women started and scaled new businesses at the same rate men do. On average across countries, long-run GDP per capita would be almost 20% higher if gender employment gaps were closed.

Women’s employment can be a central driver of inclusive growth. No society can develop sustainably without supporting opportunities, resources, and choices for men and women so that they have equal power to shape their own lives and contribute to their families, communities, and countries.
Accelerating gender equality generates large economic gains.
