Closing the women’s health gap: Canada’s $37 billion opportunity
Closing the women’s health gap in Canada could result in seven more healthy days of life per year for every Canadian woman—and potentially boost the country’s economy by $37 billion annually by 2040. Over the past two centuries, life expectancy in Canada has more than doubled, rising from under 40 years of age to almost 82, thanks to improved public health, strengthened infrastructure, and better access to healthcare. This is a tremendous success story.
Jumpstarting value creation with data and analytics in fashion and luxury
The COVID-19 crisis is first and foremost a humanitarian crisis, but its economic impacts are far-reaching. Fashion is no exception: apparel companies lost 90 percent of their profits in 2020, according to the McKinsey Global Fashion Index. Consumer confidence plummeted during the pandemic, and it has yet to recover. Data will be the key to unlocking the insights needed to adapt to change and to reengage customers in the coming months and years.
The present and future of women in the Canadian workforce
As questions about the future of work loom, Canada stands at a crossroads. Automation and technological advances pose unprecedented opportunities and challenges to workers across Canada’s economy. Both men and women will need to navigate a wide-scale workforce transition, moving from lower-wage and lower-skilled to higher-wage and higher-skilled jobs. For women, who already face inequalities in the workplace, this transition will be pivotal.
How mall owners can boost revenues through advanced analytics
When a mall operator uses advanced analytics to select tenants, optimize mall layout, and determine rents, its revenues can rise by 20 percent. With consumers shifting more of their spending from physical stores to e-commerce and increasingly looking for experiences rather than products, mall operators face serious headwinds.
Still looking for room at the top: Ten years of research on women in the workplace
What we know—and what everyone needs to know—about the quest for equality. In 2007, when women held 11 percent of seats on the executive committees of Europe’s leading companies, McKinsey published its first Women Matter report. It not only argued for greater gender diversity in corporate management but also suggested how to achieve that goal.
A woman's place is in the digital revolution
Closing the gap between men and women to the internet and mobile phones would enable women to seize opportunities in the industries that are shaping our collective future, write Sandrine Devillard and Anu Madgavkar in Project Syndicate. Digital technologies are a double-edged sword for the world’s women. Men’s greater access to these technologies puts women at risk of being left even further behind economically and socially.
El lugar de la mujer está en la revolución digital
El lugar de la mujer está en la revolución digital Lo que está en juego no es solo la habilidad de las mujeres de aprovechar las oportunidades que les ofrece la revolución digital, sino también su capacidad de resistir a la ola de automatización que se aproxima.
A Woman’s Place Is in the Digital Revolution | by Sandrine Devillard, Anu Madgavkar and Janet Bush
A few facts. Yes, I know that “fact” is a four-letter word and not PC, but facts are important. 1. In countries with less sex discrimination, occupational differentiation is greater than in countries with more sex discrimination. This is known as the “Gender Equity Paradox”. For example, there is more occupational differentiation in Canada than in Ghana. Is Canada really a hellhole of sex discrimination and Ghana some sort of gender equity paradise? Would anyone with half a brain believe such a thing?

How the mall business can reinvent itself for the digital age
The digital shopping revolution offers new opportunities to mall operators agile enough to seize them. Shuttered stores, thinning crowds, empty parking lots, and retailers filing for bankruptcy. These are tough times for shopping malls and the major retailers who serve as their anchors. Product oversupply and the rise of e-commerce are squeezing margins, and customers are demanding unique and personalized experiences, not just the same thing every time for everybody.
Women Matter: Ten years of insights on gender diversity
A decade into our research, we highlight key findings—and invite 16 global leaders to look at how to increase gender diversity in corporations and imagine the inclusive company of the future. Globally, women generate 37 percent of global GDP despite accounting for 50 percent of the global working-age population. The global average contribution to GDP masks large variations among regions.
Women Matter - Time to accelerate
Seit 10 Jahren beleuchtet McKinsey die wirtschaftliche Bedeutung von mehr Gleichberechtigung unter Frauen und Männern in Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Unsere Studienreihe "Women Matter" beschreibt die Situation, liefert Argumente und identifiziert sowohl die Hürden als auch die effektivsten Treiber für Wandel. Die Jubiläumsausgabe liefert aktuelle Fakten und zeigt: Frauen sind in der Wirtschaft und in den Führungsetagen von Unternehmen und Organisationen noch immer unterrepräsentiert.
Advancing women's equality could mean a windfall for all Canadians - Macleans.ca
Canada’s progress toward gender parity has stalled. At our current pace, it will take us 30 years at the very least to reach gender equality in seven work-related areas—and possibly as long as 180 years.
The power of parity: Advancing women’s equality in Canada
Canada, a global leader on gender equality, has seen progress stall over the past 20 years. Further tapping into women’s potential could reenergize Canada’s economy and its businesses. Accelerating progress toward gender equality is not only a moral and social imperative, it would also deliver a growth dividend for Canada.
Le pouvoir de la parité : Promouvoir l’égalité hommes-femmes au Canada
Le Canada figure parmi les leaders mondiaux en matière d’égalité hommes-femmes. Pourtant, le pays n’a enregistré aucun progrès notable depuis les 20 dernières années. Le fait d’exploiter davantage le potentiel des femmes pourrait donner un nouveau souffle à l’économie et aux entreprises canadiennes. L’accélération des avancées en matière d’égalité entre les sexes ne constitue pas seulement un impératif social et moral : elle procurerait également un dividende de croissance pour le Canada.
Why gender diversity at the top remains a challenge
McKinsey’s survey of global executives finds that corporate culture and a lack of convinced engagement by male executives are critical problems for women.
Reinventing the workplace for greater gender diversity
Three efforts could kick-start progress to get more women in leadership positions. The case for gender diversity is compelling, but McKinsey research—including a new report, Women Matter 2016: Reinventing the workplace to unlock the potential of gender diversity—shows many companies are struggling to ensure women are represented fairly in top management. Progress toward parity remains slow.

Neue Arbeitsmodelle gefragt
Frauen sind in europäischen Vorständen und Aufsichtsräten nach wie vor unterrepräsentiert. Laut der neuen Untersuchung der Studienreihe "Women Matter" liegt das auch daran, dass Frauen weniger Stunden als Männer arbeiten und doppelt so viel Zeit für unbezahlte Tätigkeiten investieren als Männer.

Gender equality: Taking stock of where we are
Why are women still underrepresented at every level of today’s corporations? There is a growing consensus among top executives that gender diversity is both an ethical and a business imperative. Yet progress is painfully slow. Despite modest improvements, women are underrepresented at every level of today’s corporations, especially in senior positions. We’re quite cognizant of how difficult it is to make progress.
How advancing women’s equality can add $12 trillion to global growth
Gender inequality is not only a pressing moral and social issue but also a critical economic challenge. If women-who account for half the world's working-age population-do not achieve their full economic potential, the global economy will suffer.

Por que a diversidade de gênero no topo permanece um desafio
Cultura corporativa defasada e falta de engajamento por parte dos executivos são questões críticas.
Moving mind-sets on gender diversity
To ensure that corporate culture supports—not hinders—the ability of women to reach top management, companies must address mind-sets and develop a more inclusive, holistic diversity agenda. Female executives are ambitious and sure of their own abilities to become top managers, though they are much less confident that their companies’ cultures can support their rise.
The global gender agenda
Women continue to be underrepresented at senior-management levels in Asia, Europe, and North America. McKinsey research suggests some answers. The progress of women toward the upper echelons of business, government, and academia continues to provoke media attention and lively debate.
