The 2022 APEC Healthy Women, Healthy Economies Research Prize has officially launched. In 2018, the APEC Healthy Women, Healthy Economies Research Prize was created to recognise research that enables policy makers, business leaders, and others to identify and implement measures to improve women’s health in APEC economies so women can join and rise in the workforce.
APEC Healthy Women, Healthy Economies initiative
Since 2014 the APEC Healthy Women, Healthy Economies initiative has been working on a public-private partnership basis to improve women’s health so women can join, thrive, and rise in the workforce.
