Furthermore, these benefits also translate into positive economic aspects for countries, such as an increase in per capita income and greater economic growth. How does this topic remain relevant today? Despite efforts to close gender gaps, there is still much work to be done. The inclusion of female leadership remains a priority for building a fair, equitable, and prosperous workplace for all.
