The debilitating socio-economic effects of the pandemic were asymmetrically faced by women. For recovery to be equitable and inclusive, it must be women-led and women-centered. How can we reduce the economic, social and political inequities faced by women to ensure that women have their rightful place in the world as drivers of economic growth and sustainable development?
How is the changing global economy changing the opportunities available to women? Are there specific measures that can be taken to improve female labour force participation, women-led financial inclusion and women-led enterprises? This panel will examine the post-pandemic policy, business and socio-economic landscape for women and explore how BRICS can support women-led economic growth.
