Bookings are closed for this event.

Citi and Plan International invite you to save the date for the exciting launch event of the latest publication in the Citi GPS Women in the Economy series. Please join Andrew Pitt (Global Head of Citi Research), Anne-Birgitte Albrectsen (CEO of Plan International) and others for a discussion on the economic and social value of investing in the development of adolescent girls.

It is now well understood that when women are given greater opportunity to participate in the labour force, economies grow and societies prosper. However, the role of girls, and in particular adolescent girls, in achieving growth and prosperity is often overlooked. Our new report discusses the key barriers that adolescent girls face, especially in developing economies, and analyses the economic and social benefits that could be generated by addressing them. We believe that investing in the education and well-being of adolescent girls is not only a social and rights-based imperative, but is also economically critical and leads to positive outcomes for society at large.

The event will feature presentations on the main findings of the report, as well as comments from a wide range of experts.
