GENDER EQUALITY IN DECISION-MAKING POSITIONS: ASSESSING PROGRESS

What is the business case for gender equality in decision-making positions? What risks do women currently face in the labor market and how can policies mitigate those risks to close the gender gap?

Join us on 9 March 2021 as we launch the AXA Research Lab on Gender Equality at Bocconi University with a live expert panel discussion on the role of policy intervention in closing the gender gap in decision-making positions.

Gender equality is one of the most important transformations of the last century. Not only a matter of rights, gender equality also has positive consequences for economic growth and business. Although academic research on gender-related issues is growing in the field of social science, gender gaps and female under-representation in the labour market remain widespread throughout the world. Policy intervention is needed to push for the reduction of gender gaps in business and politics. During this webinar, we will assess progress in obtaining gender equality in decision-making positions in both business and government.
