Build a gender-inclusive economy
The Institute for Gender and the Economy brings world-leading research to leaders to help dismantle systemic inequities.
The COVID-19 crisis has driven an urge to “get back to normal”—but it has become increasingly clear that the old normal isn’t good enough. Gender inequality has been even further exacerbated by the pandemic and continues to prevent millions of people from reaching their full potential: Women of colour are clustered in low-paying essential services, men are constrained by job expectations that discourage care-giving time with their families, and trans and gender non-conforming people are excluded from economic opportunities.
At this pivotal time in our economy and society, we have an amazing opportunity to build a better future—one with a truly inclusive economy that includes people of all genders and intersecting identities. GATE is equipping decision makers with the game-changing guidance and data insights they need to make that happen.
Sarah Kaplan, Director, \ Institute for Gender and the Economy
To make a lasting difference in the fight against gender inequality, the Institute for Gender and the Economy (GATE) at the University of Toronto is uncovering myth-busting insights about gender and its intersection with other identities. Part of the renowned Rotman School of Management, GATE taps into a deep bench of world-leading researchers across a broad range of disciplines at U of T and brings their expertise to business, non-profit, and public sector leaders—helping them transform the systems that contribute to inequality.
