WOMEN MATTER➖
When more women work, economies grow
.
.
Evidence from a range of countries shows that increasing the share of household income controlled by women, either through their own earnings or cash transfers, changes spending in ways that benefit children .
.
Increasing women and girls’ education contributes to higher economic growth.
.
.
Women tend to have less access to formal financial institutions and saving mechanisms
.
.
Women continue to participate in labour markets on an unequal basis with men. In 2013, the male employment-to-population ratio stood at 72.2 per cent, while the ratio for females was 47.1 per cent
.
.
Globally, women are paid less than men. Women in most countries earn on average only 60 to 75 per cent of men’s wages
.
.
It is calculated that women could increase their income globally by up to 76 per cent if the employment participation gap and the wage gap between women and men were closed. This is calculated to have a global value of USD 17 trillion .
