“Recover together, recover stronger”: McKinsey supports sustainable, inclusive growth for women and business at G20

Engaging with the B20 and W20 sub-groups, McKinsey plays a role in two key areas of discussion in 2022: women’s empowerment, and the role of business in the global economy.

Key themes

Economic recovery post COVID-19 | Sustainability | Women in the workplace | Inclusive growth | Healthcare

Prioritizing innovation and harnessing digital technologies is key, not only to the global public-health response to COVID, but to unlocking post-crisis growth.

The gap between men's and women’s expected lifetime earnings globally is US$172 trillion—nearly two times the world’s annual GDP. As we move forward to achieve green, resilient and inclusive development, governments need to accelerate the pace of legal reforms so that women can realize their full potential.
