GROW Research Series
The Growth and Economic Opportunities for Women (GrOW) Research Series showcases some of the research supported by the Growth and Economic Opportunities for Women (GrOW) program, a multi-funder partnership between the UK Government's Department for International Development, The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and Canada’s International Development Research Centre. With 14 projects in 50 countries, the GrOW program worked with researchers to improve economic outcomes and opportunities for poor women on the themes of employment, the care economy, and women’s economic agency.
This series is housed at the Institute for the Study of International Development (ISID) at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.
