Women

The 805,000-plus women and girls who live in Central Ohio are ethnically diverse, comprise 51 percent of the region's population and constitute 47 percent of its workforce, and generate more than $5 billion through the businesses they own. These are some of the findings in Count on Her! The Status of Women and Girls in Central Ohio (executive summary, 16 pages, PDF; full document, 156 pages, PDF), which was commissioned by the Women's Fund of Central Ohio and the Columbus Foundation to establish a baseline for future studies and inform public policy, funding priorities, and programming related to women and girls in the region.
