May 28, 2019 Editor 0
Gender equality is one of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) that calls for ensuring women’s full participation in political, economic and public life as a target. Gender inequality is still a key development issue. The World Economic Forum’s Gender Gap Report 2017 found a gender gap of 42% when it came to labor force participation and earned income. Unrealized Potential, a May 2018 publication of the World Bank Group, puts a staggering figure to the cost of this inequality in earnings – $160.2 trillion globally, or $23,620 per capita.Kuralay Aitzhanova, Dispatcher Manager at the Energy Transmission Control Center of KEGOK.
