β@UNCTAD is an essential partner to implement the #ParisPact for Peoples and the Planet: we must redirect investments towards the fight against poverty and protecting the planet.β @CZacharopoulou at the #WorldInvestmentForum.
We begin the 8th World Investment Forum in the UAE focused on one objective: mobilising public and private sectors to close the $4 trillion investment gap needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
This yearβs economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin showed that female participation in the labour market did not have an upward trend over a 200 year period, but instead forms a U-shaped curve.
The participation of married women decreased with the transition from an agrarian to an industrial society in the early nineteenth century, but then started to increase with the growth of the service sector in the early twentieth century. Goldin explained this pattern as the result of structural change and evolving social norms regarding womenβs responsibilities for home and family.
