When Women Work, Everyone Wins
A thriving economy isn’t just built by corporations and governments- it’s built by people. And when more women join the workforce, economies grow stronger, families become more financially secure, and communities flourish. Yet, despite making up nearly half of the global population, women still face barriers to employment and equal pay. But the truth is clear: when women work, everyone benefits.
Women in the Workforce: A Game-Changer for the Economy
When women participate in the workforce, they contribute to economic growth in several ways:
- Higher Household Incomes: Women’s earnings boost household incomes, lifting families out of poverty and improving overall quality of life.
- More Consumer Spending: With financial independence, women can invest in their families, education, and local businesses, strengthening the economy.
- Innovation & Entrepreneurship: Women bring fresh perspectives and innovative ideas, driving economic and business development.
- Closing the Labor Gap: Industries facing worker shortages can benefit from skilled,
In Canada, studies have shown that increasing women’s workforce participation by just 1% could add billions to the national GDP. Countries like Iceland and Sweden, where women are actively encouraged to work through policies like paid parental leave and equal pay laws, continue to lead in global economic rankings.

What Holds Women Back?
Despite the benefits, women often face challenges such as:
- Lack of access to education and training
- Unequal pay and gender discrimination
- Family responsibilities without adequate support
- Limited mentorship and networking opportunities
But that’s where WETE Now steps in.

Real Stories, Real Impact
Take Maya, for example. A single mother who struggled to find a job due to a lack of qualifications, Maya joined WETE Now’s career training program. With support from our mentors and a scholarship to complete her certification in business administration, she now runs her own small business, employs three other women, and is financially independent.
