Women in the Workplace

A recent survey from Booze & Co found that up to one billion women are predicted to enter the workforce in the next decade. 

"The report from the global management and strategy consultancy said the surge in women employees, employers, producers, and entrepreneurs in the next 10 years would improve not only gender equality, but global economic growth." 

They go on to say that "There is a very clear correlation between empowering women and GDP growth, literacy rates, infant mortality rates.” 

We have obviously observed an increase over the years in the number of women entering the workforce and women entering previously male-dominated markets, but this is quite a significant number for the future market.
