Again we see that investing in women is not about preferential treatment but about achieving economic stability and growth through healthy communities. Among the findings of a new McKinsey & Company & World Economic Forum report: ► Closing the gender health gap could add at least $1 trillion a year to the global economy by 2040. ► Every $1 invested to improve women’s health could generate $3 for the economy as quality of life improves and women are able to actively participate in the workforce. ► Women’s health is often simplified to include only sexual and reproductive health, which under-represents the total health burden.
Women's health is not just about pregnancy care. We must evolve our understanding of women's health if we are going to close the gender health gap. The McKinsey Health Institute's latest report in collaboration with the World Economic Forum has been featured in The Guardian. #CloseTheWomensHealthGap #WomensHealth #McKinseyAtDavos #HealthEquity #GenderEquality
