Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Jobs and Women: Untapped Talent, Unrealized Growth. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.

The Economic Research Forum (ERF), in collaboration with the Office of the Chief Economist for the Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan, and Pakistan (MENAAP) at the World Bank, is organizing a webinar to discuss the report “Jobs and Women: Untapped Talent, Unrealized Growth.” Jobs and Women argues that job creation and full utilization of the region’s human capital are essential to accelerating growth and raising living standards. In this context, the persistently low levels of female labor force participation remain one of the most significant constraints on economic transformation in the MENAAP region.
