You can read Windrush as a morality tale, but it is about the future of black people in the Caribbean. Where next will they want us to labour? Where is the next place they will take us? Why do we not focus on building our own economies and societies? We need to put all hands on deck to get our economies to function at a higher level.

Hilary Beckles

Institutionalized discrimination is bad for people and for societies. Widespread discrimination is also bad for economies. There is clear evidence that when societies enact laws that prevent productive people from fully participating in the workforce, economies suffer.

Jim Yong Kim

Societies advance through innovation every bit as much as economies do.

Transforming our societies and our economies is an agenda that requires the participation of all. Gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls are key. Including and empowering women and girls to develop and implement climate solutions is the right thing to do. It is also the smart thing to do.

Patricia Espinosa

Gender equality has a transformative effect that is essential to fully functioning communities, societies, and economies.

Antonio Guterres

It is absolutely without contradiction that when women are encouraged to participate in the formal economies of their societies, the economy grows.

Hillary Clinton

It is my belief that there is a greater understanding than ever that women need to be equal participants in our homes, in our societies, in our governments, and in our workplaces.

Emma Watson

[We should] stop the immigration to our societies - because we have had more than enough Islam in our societies.

Geert Wilders

Without action to de-carbonize our economies, unchecked climate change threatens to batter lives and economies around the world, hitting the poorest people hardest.

Arancha Gonzalez

Rather than engineering our economies solely to maximise GDP, Africa's business and political leaders must build economies explicitly designed to end poverty and inequality.
