WHY DO WOMEN MEAN BUSINESS?
Because:
- women make 80% of consumer goods purchasing decisions
- 60% of university graduates in the EU and North America are women
- the Eurozone could gain 13% of GDP growth by reducing the gender gap
- companies with the most women in leadership outperform those with the fewest

“Closing the gap between male and female employment rates would have huge implications for the global economy, boosting US GDP by as much as 9%, Eurozone GDP by 13% and Japanese GDP by 16%.”
