Almost a billion women around the world will enter the global economy during the coming decade. They are poised to play a significant role in countries around the world – as significant as that of the billion-plus populations of India and China.
Yet this potential “third billion” has not received sufficient attention from governments, business leaders, or other key decision makers in many countries. This represents a missed opportunity, particularly in the Middle East and north Africa; greater involvement from women can have a disproportionate impact beyond what their numbers would suggest.
