Investing in women and girls is one of the highest return opportunities available in the developing world, as per Goldman Sach and other reports.
Bringing more women into the labor force can significantly boost per capita income and GDP growth.
Women’s higher propensity to use their earnings and increased bargaining power to buy goods and services that improve family welfare can create a virtuous cycle: female spending supports the development of human capital, which fuels economic growth in the years ahead.
The International Finance Corporation (IFC) estimates that as many as 70% of women-owned SMEs in the formal sector in developing countries are unserved or under-served by financial institutions.
