A British charity for the disabled, citing World Bank data, says the world could gain trillions annually in Gross Domestic Product if women were employed at the same rate as men. Failure to close gender employment gaps reduces a country’s economic growth by 20% on average, according to the data.

英國一家身障服務慈善機構援引世界銀行的數據指出，若女性的就業率和男性相同，全球每年可提高數兆產值的國內生產毛額（GDP）。反之，若無法彌平就業市場中的性別差距，將導致一個國家的經濟成長率平均下滑約百分之二十。
