Quote by Michelle Bachelet

One of the factors a country's economy depends on is human capital. If you don't provide women with adequate access to healthcare, education and employment, you lose at least half of your potential. So, gender equality and women's empowerment bring huge economic benefits.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of gender equality and women's empowerment for the economic progress of a country. It acknowledges that a nation's economy relies on its human capital, and by neglecting to provide women with essential resources such as healthcare, education, and employment opportunities, a country loses out on the potential contributions of half its population. Therefore, investing in gender equality not only promotes justice and fairness, but also yields significant economic benefits by harnessing the untapped potential and skills of women.
