$12 trillion – the amount of global GDP growth that could be realized by 2025 if gender inequality were to lessen. That number jumps to $28 trillion if women were to achieve equal labour market status to men. That’s a decent amount of coin.
50.9% – The share of total Canadian investment that comes from the private/corporate sector, the second lowest in the OECD behind Greece. For some comparisons to other G7 countries, the US is at 53.8%, the UK 57.4%, Germany 57.8%, and Japan 68.3%.
