While the whole world is scrambling for ways to stimulate spending and economic growth, one way remains vividly evident and yet widely ignored: equitable income and opportunity sharing between men and women.
Men are not inherently smarter, better or more deserving workers than women. Disproportionally enriching one sex at the expense of the other is not only indefensible, but it’s also bad for business and global demand. Fixing this requires an active effort on the part of all corporations, leaders and policymakers, it’s not happening on its own. The status quo needs to understand that it is in all of our best interests to get this highly inefficient and damaging imbalance remedied without further delay. A stronger economy requires greater income sharing.
