Economic Empowerement

Economic empowerment entails women’s ability to make informed choices, take advantage of and fully benefit from economic opportunities and control their income and assets. Today, this remains a distant reality for many women worldwide. Globally, the female share of the labour force hovers around 40%, barely changing over the past two decades. Only 52% of women are active in the labour force and are concentrated in part-time or vulnerable employment.

If we work collaboratively, by 2030, women would be empowered economic actors, contributing to the dynamism of their economies.
