New episode of Pocket Economics podcast

'Inclusion makes business sense. Studies show that for every percentage increase in inclusion in the workforce, the company's performance goes up by 3.5 percent.'

On our new 'Pocket Economics' podcast: Youth and Gender Inclusion, we discuss equal opportunities in an unequal, increasingly changing world.

Listen to our Barbara Rambousek in conversation with Jonathan Charles.
