When history books one day recount the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, it may well be a tale of human ingenuity and adaptiveness.

​

Among the most powerful is investment in inclusive growth and unlocking the maximum productive potential of all people in communities.

 

For example, achieving gender equality could add $4 trillion to the US economy, and closing the Black–white wealth gap could add a further $1.5 trillion.

​

Seemingly every consumer behavior has been altered by the crisis; companies need to adapt to big changes in how people get their information, what and where they buy, and how they experience it.
