Women in standardization: female empowerment for a better world
According to a recent report from global consulting firm McKinsey 1), if women played an identical role to men in the labour market, we could add as much as USD 28 trillion, or 26 %, to the annual global Gross Domestic Product by 2025. In the field of international standardization, women contribute actively in many different and significant ways.
On the occasion of International Women’s Day 2017, ISO reached out to some of the many women leaders and experts in our network with some questions about their experiences to highlight the importance of women’s engagement with standards development.
