| Abstract | While gender equality has an intrinsic value as a human right, it could also act as a catalyst for economic growth (Klugman & Tyson, 2016). For instance, closing the education gender gap could unlock resources and contribute to diversifying skills and talent within the workforce (Eriksson, 2017). Moreover, the incorporation of women in the labour force is recognised as an important driver of national growth (Scott, 2018); McKinsey Global Institute estimates that reaching gender economic parity could add up to 26 per cent to the annual global GDP in 2025 (Woetzel et al., 2015). Within this framework, this synthesis note will explore major challenges for WEE as well as evidence on what works and why. |
