#Gamechangers for Women and the Future of Work
Leaders from across Asia and the Pacific – government, unions, business, and academia – highlighted "game-changing" areas which have potential to transform the future of work for women in Asia and the Pacific.
Gender equality and women’s empowerment have implications for growth and development. A reduction in the gap in participation rates between men and women by 25 per cent has the potential to increase the GDP in Asia-Pacific by as much as US$ 3.2 trillion.

Skilling Women and Girls for the Future of Work: Promoting STEM

Closing the pay gap: What actually works
Gender pay gaps stand at almost 20 per-cent on average across sectors in the Asia-Pacific region. If we don’t take action now, it will take another 70 years to close the gender pay gap. While an overall gender equality policy is essential for promoting equal pay, gender equality cannot be achieved without equal pay for work of equal value.
