Women’s inequality is a pressing human issue that also has significant ramifications for jobs, productivity, GDP growth, and inequality. In September 2015, MGI published a global report, The power of parity: How advancing gender equality can add $12 trillion to global growth, to explore the economic potential of achieving gender parity and to map the gender gaps in countries around the world. This report builds on the bodies of research from McKinsey’s Women Matter and MGI’s The power of parity, positioning efforts to improve gender equality in the context of Canada’s changing economy and future needs for productivity and growth.
