SUMMARY:The Importance of Women’s Entrepreneurship for Economic Recovery
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionate effect on women. Most strikingly observed amongst women from disadvantaged populations\, it is also taking a harsh toll on women entrepreneurs. Existing systemic inequalities pre-pandemic have been further exacerbated by recent shut-down measures\, resulting in what some economists are calling a "she-cession\," as more women have lost their jobs and fewer women than men are re-gaining employment. What is clear is this: we will not achieve our full economic potential if support for women is not centred in our planning.\n\nJoin the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and the Women Entrepreneurship Knowledge Hub (WEKH) for a lunch discussion with incredible speakers and critical discussions about how women's entrepreneurship and leadership is critical to a stronger economic recovery in Canada.\n\n\n\nAdditional details and REGISTRATION at https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/the-importance-of-womens-entrepreneurship-for-economic-recovery-tickets-115230106350
