Women, business and balance: using data to advance inclusion

As global conversations around gender equality evolve, the focus is increasingly shifting from commitments to measurable outcomes. This includes how legal frameworks, institutional practices and representation translate into real economic inclusion for women, and how we can better understand both the progress made and the barriers that persist across countries and sectors. Tea Trumbic, manager of the Women, Business and the Law project at the World Bank, joins Andrea Correa, head of research at OMFIF, to discuss the intersection of evidence-based policy-making and women’s economic empowerment. From personal reflections to the broader policy landscape, we examine where meaningful progress has been achieved, where gaps remain, the importance of language in shaping the debate and the link between gender equality and economic growth.
