Empowering women leads to economic growth from "summary" of The Moment of Lift by Melinda French Gates

When women have the power to make their own choices, they can transform their families, their communities, and even their countries. This transformation isn't just about basic rights or fairness; it's also about economics. When women participate in the economy, everyone benefits. By investing in women’s empowerment – in their health, education, and opportunities – we can drive economic growth and reduce poverty. When women are able to work and earn money, they reinvest a much higher percentage of their income in their families and communities compared to men. This leads to improvements in education, health, and prosperity for everyone. Studies have shown that when women are able to participate fully in the economy, it can boost GDP growth. In fact, closing the gender gap in employment could increase GDP by as much as 10 percent in some countries. By ensuring that women have access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities, we can create a more prosperous future for all. Empowering women isn't just the right thing to do – it's also the smart thing to do. When women are given the resources and support they need to thrive, they can drive economic growth and lift entire communities out of poverty. We must continue to invest in women’s empowerment if we want to create a more equitable and prosperous world for all.
