Inclusion Of Women In A Country’s Economy Is
Essential To Future Growth
• Today there are more than 200 million women
entrepreneurs worldwide. Women earn more
than $10 trillion every year, which is expected to
grow by $5 trillion over the next several years.
• Investing in women is an important strategy for
job creation and economic growth, which many
have recognized. Yet, the pool of talented women
is still underutilized, underpaid and
underrepresented in business and society.

Inclusion Of Women In A Country’s
Economy Is Essential To Future Growth
• A Goldman Sachs report shows how a
reduction in barriers to female labor
force participation would increase
America’s GDP by 9 percent.

American Women Significant Contribution to
U.S. Economy
• In 1970, 41% of women were working either full- or
part-time, accounting for 38% of total workers in the
U.S.;
• 56% of women are working and women make up 47% of
all workers in the U.S.
• If no additional women had joined the paid economy
since 1970, U.S. GDP would be 75% of its current size
($11T v $15T).
