In our prime: health policy and technology accelerating economic inclusion - #Women4Health
Room: Plenary
Description
Just half the world’s female working-age population participate in the labour force, compared with 80% of men. That puts limits on economic growth, productivity and innovation. How can increasing women’s access to health, from vaccinations to period parity to technology such as breast pumps, benefit productivity and economic growth? How are technologies and tech infrastructure such as cloud-enabled telemedicine supporting inclusion for women and their families? What is the role of innovation and women’s entrepreneurship itself in boosting access to health, and increasing economic empowerment for women?
