Advancing Racial and Ethnic Equity

Speakers: Luana Marques Garcia Ozemela, Angela Williams, Robert C. Garrett, Shamina Singh

Recent years have seen progress in workforce representation for people of colour, with 94% of jobs added by S&P 100 companies in the US in 2021 taken up by people of colour. Yet, systematic economic gaps remain.

What are the promising pathways for accelerating fairer economic outcomes?

This session is linked to the Racial Justice in Business Alliance of the World Economic Forum.
