    What: Increasing the entrepreneurial talent and managerial pool in
    developing and emerging economies - especially among women - is
    one of the most important means to reducing inequality and
    ensuring more shared economic growth. Goldman Sachs today
    announced 10,000 Women, a global corporate engagement
    initiative to deliver a business and management education to
    10,000 underserved women around the world. Through partnerships
    between universities in the U.S. and Europe (see below) and
    business schools in emerging and developing countries, 10,000
    Women also will seek to have a lasting impact on the quality
    and capacity of business education in developing regions around
    the world.

    10,000 Women was inspired by economic research from Goldman
    Sachs that showed the powerful effects of greater labor force
    participation of women on economies and societies. The company
    will commit $100 million to this initiative over the next five
    years and its people will contribute their time and expertise
    through classroom instruction and mentoring. 10,000 Women will
    work with development organizations to better understand the
    local challenges girls and young women must overcome so more of
    them can realize economic opportunity and achieve their full
    potential. Many of these partnerships will seek to establish
    mentoring and networking channels for women and encourage
    career development opportunities.
