The IPE Diversity & Inclusion: Focus on the Gender Pensions Gap programme (Timings are GMT)

10:05 AM - 10:20 AM

It is widely understood that in many nations women do the lioness’ share of unpaid caring work for their families and communities.  This work, while critical to the health of economies and societies, is at the heart of gender inequality. We’ll explore the role of policy making and gender budgeting in building a fairer financial future. 

10:20 AM - 10:30 AM

Gender equity makes good business sense and supports companies’ financial performance, which means pension funds’ investment decisions increasingly integrate gender equity considerations. Institutional investors can also exercise their influence to drive improvements.

10:30 AM - 11:15 AM

Panel discussion

11:15 AM - 12:00 PM
