At this event, we will discuss how a diverse workforce can be leveraged to drive economic growth.

The Old Government House Hotel & Spa

The Channel Islands have high numbers of ‘non employed’ women, as well as both men and women who are not economically active over the age of 50. This is particularly concerning with near full employment and critical skills gaps in the local economy. Combined with rapidly ageing populations in both islands and a shrinking working age workforce, this is a worrying trend that must be addressed. There are, of course, those who can afford not to work or for a variety of reasons have chosen not to work, however, it is more likely that significant barriers such as the lack of flexibility from employers and the high costs of childcare are disincentivizing women in particular from working full time or working at all. At this event, Managing Partner, Evelyn Brady, and Chief Strategy Officer, Leyla Yildirim, of PwC will make the economic case for leveraging Guernsey&#x27;s untapped talent. and will draw on findings from a new PwC report which shows that Guernsey is lagging behind other economies.
