Investing in women creates ripple effect, multiple benefits

KOTA KINABALU: Investing in women creates a ripple effect that yields multiple benefits, not only for individuals, but also for families, communities, and countries, says the University of California director for expanding diversity and gender equity in tech Jill Finlayson.

She said investment in women’s entrepreneurship empowerment would also give meaningful returns as they would reinvest in their family, children and community development via business contribution.
