Future of Work for Women Summit

April 18, 2025

Millions of women worldwide are eager to work but face unique barriers. Tradeoff between job opportunities and traditional household roles often limits women’s access to employment. This gender gap in labor force participation, especially in low-income countries, restricts economic growth and limits women’s financial independence.

The summit will convene business leadersresearcherspolicymakersphilanthropists, and nonprofit pioneers. Through shared insights and strategic partnerships, we aim to drive the future of women’s work across sectors.
