Global supply chains provide critical jobs and capital, but too often women suffer from very low wages, poor working conditions (lack of formal contracts and access to social protection), and frequent verbal abuse and sexual harassment.
These types of jobs are not just bad for workers; they are bad for companies and society. This session examines how large corporations and social entrepreneurs can collaborate in new ways to maximize positive impact on society.
The Chatham House Gender and Growth Forum is an annual forum which brings together a committed group of action-oriented policymakers, business leaders, entrepreneurs, activists and academics to generate key policy ideas and support the work of the Women 20 (W20) and other international forums.
The central idea behind the forum this year is about finding solutions to re-shape the world of work so that it works not only for women but for society as a whole.
