CSW: Paving the way for a gender-equal economy

Please note time is local time (NY time).

Women’s labor market participation and economic independence are cornerstones in any gender-equal society.

Nordic and international experts unlock concrete policy solutions to equal pay, shared parental leave, and subsidized child-care that support
women’s economic empowerment. 

Discover how the Nordics have shaped a path that supports economic gender equality and how policies promoting gender equality are a good business case – for the individual and for society.
