The rich world's quiet revolution: women are gradually taking over the workplace

Hello Everyone - Happy New Year!

A special friend sent me this link yesterday to an amazing article about women in the workplace. A paragraph from the article:

"Women’s economic empowerment is arguably the biggest social change of our times. Just a generation ago, women were largely confined to repetitive, menial jobs. They were routinely subjected to casual sexism and were expected to abandon their careers when they married and had children. Today they are running some of the organisations that once treated them as second-class citizens. Millions of women have been given more control over their own lives. And millions of brains have been put to more productive use. Societies that try to resist this trend—most notably the Arab countries, but also Japan and some southern European countries—will pay a heavy price in the form of wasted talent and frustrated citizens."

All the best,
