Bridging the gap: Empowering women through micropensions and financial inclusion

The International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that globally, only about 20% of women are covered by any form of pension, compared to approximately 25% of men. In many developing countries, pension coverage can be as low as 5-10% for women in the informal sector.
Yet, despite the growing recognition of the need for inclusive financial solutions, less than 5% of global impact investment is directed toward financial products specifically designed for women.
These statistics highlight the urgent need for targeted interventions and innovative solutions, such as micropensions, to bridge the gender gap in financial inclusion and empower women globally. Join speakers as they have a frank conversation on the barriers hindering greater financial inclusion, and consider the solutions that will bridge the gap.
