alone can add as much as two

In India, if the ratio of female to male
workers were increased by 10%, the Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) would rise by 8%.

Women's skills ‘worth billions’
Home Secretary and Minister for Women and Equalities Theresa May said: 'For
too long we have been overlooking the skills, experience and talents of women.
'Better use of women’s skills could be worth billions of pounds to our economy
each year so that is why this government is opening up more opportunities. This
support package will help those who want to start or grow their own business.
'This is real, practical help, at a time when we need to find new ways of boosting
enterprise and growth.
'This will be good for the economy and good for women.‘ (04/11/2011)
