She Leads, Ontario Prospers- Overcoming the She-Cession

Description

Explore the findings of our latest report, The She-Covery Project: Confronting the Gendered Economic Impacts of COVID-19 in Ontario The COVID-19 crisis is having a disproportionate economic impact on women, bringing their workforce participation rate to a record low. For the OCC and its members, the business case is simple: diversity and inclusion are a precondition to Ontario’s recovery and economic prosperity.
 
At this event, we will sit down with the Government of Ontario to discuss why this isn’t just a women’s issue, but an economic one that must be addressed if recovery efforts are to succeed.
