Top Quotes
Insights from inclusive growth leaders, in their own words
“We can’t change the issue of gender equality with just money … it’s culture. Culture determines how we treat women, how we view women. What is the patriarchy if not just a story that’s been told for a really long time? I believe if you change the stories, you can change the world. We can change culture.”
“If it’s not inclusive, it doesn’t scale. If it doesn’t scale, it doesn’t matter.”
“Make sure they have a great education. Make sure they can plan and space the first of their children. Make sure they have networks to get into a great job and be part of the banking system to save money. You will absolutely accelerate their growth. And guess what? They’re going to accelerate your economy.”
“Yes, we want to grow our population. Yes, we want more businesses. Yes, we want more development. Well, we want the people who have lived here in good times and bad times to be able to afford to live. So what that has meant for us is: How do we grow wages? And how do we build more affordable housing?”
