The Gender Gap
Manage episode 371658698 series 2801300
In recent weeks both the United Nations and the World Economic Forum have released their latest reports on Gender parity - and it's not looking good for the world's women. According to the UN at least the gender gap only appears to be widening, and WEF say it will still be more than 130 years before we reach anything like true equality. But just why does the distance between men and men’s roles remain so stubbornly large?
In this edition of The Agenda, Juliet Mann speaks to Raquel Lagunas, Global Director of Gender Equality at the United Nations Development Programme and Saadia Zahidi, Managing Director of the World Economic Forum to find out. She also gets the views of Jane Sun, the CEO of Trip.com, on why it makes business sense to keep women at the forefront of her business.
