The Next Movement: Women Entrepreneurs Driving Global Economic Growth

Research has found that educating women can significantly affect GDP growth, increase revenues, and provide more employees for businesses. In March 2008, Goldman Sachs launched 10,000 Women, a five-year philanthropic initiative to foster greater shared economic growth by providing 10,000 underserved women around the world with a business and management education. 10,000 Women is currently operating through a network of more than sixty partners in eighteen countries, including Afghanistan, China, India, Rwanda, Brazil, and the United States. Dina Powell, global head of corporate engagement for Goldman Sachs, shared her thoughts on why educating women and girls is one of the best strategies to propel economic growth and explained the work of Goldman Sachs’ 10,000 Women initiative.
