In February 2018, the French government announced that they would establish Europe’s first Closing the Gender Gap Accelerator in France.
The Ministry of Labour and the Platform for Shaping the Future of the New Economy and Society have partnered to work together on closing the economic gender gap by setting up a Country Accelerator on Closing the Gender Gap. The Accelerator will aim to hardwire gender parity in the future of work, advance more women into management and leadership positions, close gender gaps in remuneration and investment and increase women’s participation in the labour force.
