We must bring more women into the labor force and into higher-paid occupations. The Bank has made significant progress on gender mainstreaming in social sectors like education and health, but more must be done to support shared growth in such areas as infrastructure, energy, and transport. 2016-08-15T20:37:03Z 2016-08-15T20:37:03Z 2006-02-16 Speech http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2016/02/25887788/development-two-wheeled-cart-high-level-consultation-promoting-gender-equality-millennium-development-goal-mdg-paul-wolfowitz-president-world-bank-group http://hdl.handle.net/10986/24889 English en_US Remarks at High-Level Consultation on Promoting the Gender Equality Millennium Development Goal, Washington, DC, February 16, 2006; CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Speech South Asia Sub-Saharan Africa
