World Bank President Jim Yong Kim has appreciated Bangladesh’s role in empowering women, saying it demonstrates investment in women can be one of the most effective pro-growth strategies by any government.
“Countries such as Bangladesh are encouraging female participation in the workforce. If they stay on track, their female workforce will grow from 34 to 82 percent (percentage of females in employment) over the next decade, adding 1.8 percent to their GDP,” he said while addressing the World Bank Group/IMF Annual Meetings, in Lima, Peru on Friday, according to a copy of his speech available on WB website.
