This report explores the "power of parity" for Africa, looking at the potential boost to economic growth that could come from accelerating progress toward gender equality. It builds on MGI's global research on this topic since 2015 and further develops the thinking contained in McKinsey's long-established research on women in leadership roles and, in particular, its report Women Matter Africa published in 2016.
