Podcasts about Womenomics

Twenty-five years ago, Goldman Sachs research analyst Kathy Matsui wrote a report about the Japanese economy called Womenomics, stating that future potential economic growth will depend on increased female labor participation. So how much progress has been made in Japan and around the world? Sharon Bell, Senior Strategist on the European Portfolio Strategy Team within Goldman Sachs Research, and Asahi Pompey, Goldman Sachs Global Head of Corporate Engagement and President of the Goldman Sachs Foundation, discuss the gains — and gaps — in female workforce participation and the impact to economic growth.

On Sunday night, India's new National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government was sworn into office, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at its helm once more.We have a new group of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) allies, a new group of ministers, and a new look in terms of how the Modi government will function in its third term. However, the economic challenges the new government faces are quite old.Many experts believe that concerns about inflation, jobs, and lack of upward mobility dented the BJP's electoral prospects in the recent general election. To talk about the Indian economy and the steps the new government must take, Milan is joined on the show this week by Trinh Nguyen.Trinh is a senior economist covering emerging Asia at Natixis, based in Hong Kong, where she surveys economic trends across Asia, including in India.

Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Career Podcasts! “We realized, as we were sitting around thinking in the aftermath of that first book, that we really think there is something here. When we started to dig into it, we started to see some of the data and we realized there is a gap worth writing about.” - Claire Shipman “Claire and I have become confident women through the choices and the risks that we’ve taken and the hurdles we’ve overcome. We’ve kept going with things and mastered them, and that’s how you do it. The vast majority of your confidence is in your hands, and it’s what you choose to do right now.” - Katty Kay We are at a pivotal cultural moment for women’s leadership and representation—a time, for instance, when all eyes will be on the first-ever female and woman of color Vice President of the United States—and it’s clear that role models matter. Today’s Finding Brave guests are not only fantastic role models themselves for women of all ages, but they have written a new book called Living the Confidence Code: Real Girls. Real Stories. Real Confidence that highlights extraordinary girls who took risks and made a big impact. Their subjects sometimes doubted themselves, and even failed, but through it all discovered what matters most to them and found the confidence to accomplish their goals. Katty Kay and Claire Shipman (along with JillEllyn Riley), are the bestselling authors of The Confidence Code for Girls and The Confidence Code for Girls Journal. Katty and Claire, longtime friends, have been writing books together for over a decade. They’ve also co-written the New York Times bestsellers Womenomics and The Confidence Code. Katty Kay is the anchor of BBC World News America, based in Washington, D.C. She is also a frequent contributor to Meet the Press and Morning Joe, and a regular guest host for The Diane Rehm Show on NPR. In addition to her work on women’s issues, Katty has covered the Clinton administration sex scandal; four presidential elections; and the wars in Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq. She was at the Pentagon just 20 minutes after a hijacked plane flew into the building on 9/11 and of her most vivid journalistic memories is of interviewing soldiers still visibly shaking from the attack. Claire Shipman is a journalist, author, and public speaker. Before turning to writing, Claire spent almost three decades as an award-winning television journalist. For the last 14 years Claire was a regular contributor to Good Morning America and other national broadcasts for ABC News. Before that she served as White House correspondent for NBC News where she regularly reported on presidential policy and politics for NBC Nightly News and TODAY. I’ve been heavily influenced by Katty and Claire in my own work, and what they’ve done is given research and factual data to what so many of us have suspected about how confidence is curtailed and diminished, but also how it expands in the lives of girls and young women around the world, and why that matters. Their mission, along with the stories of those girls they feature, is deeply inspiring and motivating and is helping motivate a whole new generation of female leaders.

East Coast Radio — After hearing Olwethu Leshabane speak, you will have yourself thinking back to the Sarah Jessica Parker film, 'How Does She Do It All'. Olwethu wears many hats; mom, wife, entrepreneur, digital strategist, public speaker, social media influencer, and so much more! It seems there is no stopping this mama. Her latest venture and conversation starter is the reason why Stacey and JSbu wanted to profile her for the this Women's Month's theme, #WomenUnlocked. Olwethu launched her own Women's Month campaign this year: 'Womenomics'. What is this you may ask? Womenomics, according to Olwethu, is a campaign and platform to accelerate female participation in the economy of South Africa. The gender pay gap debate in South Africa and the world has been ongoing. In 2020, women are still significantly paid much less for the same job as their male counterparts, and Olwethu believes that if we are serious about empowering women in this country then, more than saying so is going to do it. Very often, Women's Month is filled with promises from government and big co-operations, but little action is taken. Olwethu believes that the time for giving women roses, cards, and making them your #WomanCrushWednesday on social media is over. She has set out a challenge to corporate South Africa to take an online test that determines a company’s level of inclusivity towards women. After the test is taken, she encourages the powers that be to publicly share those scorecards and plans to improve where necessary.

MultimediaLIVE — In this edition of the Business Day Spotlight, we’re discussing the evolution and contribution of ladies in the economy, in celebration of Women’s Month. Our host Mudiwa Gavaza is joined by the team from Liberty - Daphne Rampersad, head of financial planning at Liberty and Babazile Mbetse, head of group public relations - to discuss the issues. Rampersad and Mbetse talk about Liberty Blue Table Sessions, the concept of “Womenomics”, thoughts on the gains, if any, of uplifting women in the economy, and some advice on how women can master their personal finances.

This episode is all about talking about our Womenomics against the backdrop of a national conversation.  We all heard the national budget speech recently  and while not too much has changed by way of personal taxes we are still seeing that our money does not go anyway near as far as it used to...why is this the case?  Olwethu has a chat with chartered accountant and political commentator Khaya Sithole about how the national budget impacts our lives and how we can take cues from the budget in order to secure our financial lives .--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rare-events/message

One of the toughest challenges facing Japan’s economy is that its population is ageing rapidly and its workforce is shrinking dramatically. But a Japanese investment analyst, Kathy Matsui, came up with a visionary idea to help her country, and she even invented a new word for it: Womenomics. The answer, according to her, was to tap into the talent of half the population. Kathy Matsui speaks to Alejandra Martins. (Photo: Kathy Matsui. Courtesy of Goldman Sachs)

In this instalment of #Womenomics Olwethu has an important conversation with the author of Smart Money Woman- Arese Ugwu. The book is a practical guide to becoming financially savvy and gaining financial freedom and it guides much of their conversation.  They also talk about Arese's own journey to writing the book and she breaks down what a Smart Money Woman is and her own journey to becoming one.Connect with Arese on Twitter: @smartmoneyarese--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rare-events/message

Today 3, 2, 1, iRelaunch reaches a milestone! This is our 100th episode and we are delighted to showcase Carol’s conversation with Claire Shipman, Co-Author, with Katty Kay, of “Womenomics”,“The Confidence Code”and “The Confidence Code for Girls”,and former national news correspondent for ABC, NBC and CNN. Claire and Carol discuss how to build back confidence after experiencing the diminished sense of self so common to relaunchers on extended career breaks.

When Kathy Matsui first published research on "Womenomics," exploring the economic outcomes of women in the workforce, Japan had one of the lowest female participation rates in the developed world. Now, 20 years later, Japan's female participation rate is 71%, which tops the US and Europe. In this episode, Kathy Matsui joins us in the studio to discuss the progress that has been made over the next two decades and where challenges remain. "I believe Womenomics is working in Japan's context," Matsui says, though she notes that it remains "a work in progress" with significant room to improve the nation's gender leadership and pay gap.

In this episode of our series Rethinking Asia, we interviewed Kathy Matsui, vice chair of Goldman Sachs Japan. She is a prominent advocate for women in the workforce, serves as a policy commentator for Japan’s Cabinet Office and has served on multiple Japanese government committees aimed at promoting gender diversity. Kathy guided us through the combination of factors that have led to the current gap between the high skill and education levels of Japanese women and, in many cases, their absence from full-time work. She explained how changes in Japanese government policies and society are addressing this disconnect, and why empowering women is only part of the solution to Japan’s demographic crisis. Some of our main takeaways from our conversation with Kathy include: Various factors led to this gap between high skill and low participation: insufficient “infrastructure,” such as daycare, prevented many Japanese women from returning to work after giving birth; unaccommodating employer policies have discouraged women’s attempts to re-enter the workforce; and societal preferences have long favored women who opt to stay at home. Government efforts to improve daycare options and a marginal increase in temporary work visas have helped reverse the trend. However, improving female labor participation is just one prong of a coherent strategy that will be required to tackle a broader demographic challenge and labor shortage. Gender diversity targets are smart long term goals in the private sector. Gender quotas should be considered in the public sphere, at least temporarily, to ensure public policy decision-making processes accurately reflect the population. The views expressed are not necessarily those of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco or of the Federal Reserve System.

Not that long ago, the term “Japanese career women” almost had been a contradiction in itself. Times have changed and Japanese women pursuing a career is a much talked about topic in politics (“womenomics”) and the media. But has the situation really changed for career women “on the ground”? What are their opportunities and what are their challenges? To what extent are professional expectations and expectations in their private life contradicting each other? And finally, are contradicting expectations resulting in identity conflicts and what are the strategies to cope with these conflicts? These are questions to be addressed in the presentations. The presentation by Markus Pudelko is based on more than 70 interviews that he has conducted in Japan over the course of several years.

Women account for more than 50% of the global population yet, by and large, they're kept out of the boardroom when it comes to marketing. Estimated to be worth some 28 trillion of a 35 trillion dollar global consumer economy, it's undeniable that women - as a demographic - hold the pursestrings when it comes to the consumer economy. In fact, women are so powerful as a consumer group that they could easily bring the world's most powerful companies to their knees, says marketing to women pioneer, Bec Brideson. "As a collective group, women are really powerful consumers and absolutely worth more than 50% of the economy and therefore, need to be considered in a more insightful and empathetic way to make sure that we're connecting the right messages with them," she adds. "I believe that marketing needs to catch up with the social evolution that women are influencers and that we prefer to be connected to, in a different way than we've all been taught to market, so marketing has to evolve in the same way that women have evolved." Listen in to this episode of The CMO Show as Brideson shares insights from her professional experience in marketing, shedding light on the huge gender gaps in the marketing industry - both in terms of career opportunities and campaign creation.
