This paper calls for the increased engagement of women in the global workforce as a key component of long-term economic growth and sustainable development. To achieve greater participation of women in the global labour force, governments, employers and individuals must be willing to make changes. This insight demonstrates how:

  -  Women can play a key role in plugging the gap in demand for the rapidly growing service sector. 
  -  Organisations that bring women into the workforce today give themselves a chance to prosper over the long term.
  -  Inflexible work structures are the biggest global barrier to workplace engagement and retention of women.
