Women are a vital force for progress according to the document. It summarizes that international agreements like the Beijing Platform have established women's rights as human rights. Nordic countries have small gender gaps and high birth rates due to policies supporting working parents. Finland in particular has established laws promoting gender equality since the early 20th century. The document advocates for increasing women's representation in business leadership, as research shows companies with more women leaders are more profitable. It promotes empowering women through education, entrepreneurship programs, mentoring, and networking to close gender gaps.
How can haiti prepare for disruption in the future of workOnyl GEDEON
The nature of work is changing. People will need to adapt and readapt. The Haitian government must invest in early childhood education and health and build a lifelong learning system that will allow the Haitian youngs and adults to be reskilled and/or upskilled in many cases. Also, it must build a social protection system that will promote a renewed social contract. In order to do so, the government may conduct tax reforms that will allow the leaders to find the financial means they need.
Driven by long‐term shifts in the labor market and on‐going poverty and inequality, youth employment challenges have mounted steadily over the last decade and reached a crisis point in the wake of the Great Recession. Youth unemployment in 2010 reached its highest level since World War II. The short‐ and long‐term consequences of youth unemployment are severe. Individuals who fail to
transition to stable jobs by their early 20s are at risk of experiencing more frequent and prolonged spells of joblessness, permanently lower earnings, and greater difficulty building a secure financial future for themselves and their families. Ultimately, youth unemployment and associated challenges threaten to perpetuate cycles of intergenerational poverty for individuals and communities.

Inclusive Competitiveness: Empowering Underrepresented Ohioans to Compete in ...ScaleUp Partners LLC
The Ohio Board of Regents on Oct. 14, 2014 unanimously adopted the report Inclusive Competitiveness: Empowering Underrepresented Ohioans to Compete in the Innovation Economy. The action marked a turning point in the history of America from an exclusive economic landscape of the past toward a future frontier of economic inclusion.
Johnathan Holifield is both architect and author of this extraordinary vision and strategy of Inclusive Competitiveness that is now statewide policy in Ohio, a perennial political battleground state.This bipartisan embracing of a shared economic vision will be inculcated throughout the Ohio system of higher education.
Indeed, this is historic news and worth of emulation by all states across America.

Encouraging women entrepreneurs for jobs and development Women’s Entrepreneurship Development Today, more and more women entrepreneurs are starting businesses and they now account for a quarter to a third of all businesses in the formal economy worldwide. However, the great majority are very small or micro enterprises with little potential for growth. Otherwise, women entrepreneurs are under-represented in enterprises of all sizes, and the bigger the firm the less likely it is to be headed by a woman. Societal attitudes and social beliefs inhibit some women from even considering starting a business, while systemic barriers mean that many women entrepreneurs stay confined to very small businesses often operating in the informal economy. This not only limits their ability to earn an income for themselves and their families but restricts their full potential to contribute to socio-economic development and job creation. The World Bank’s World Development Report 2011 suggests that productivity could increase by as much as 25% in some countries if discriminatory barriers against women were removed. Removing these barriers, such as discriminatory property and inheritance laws, cultural practices, lack of access to formal financial institutions, and time constraints due to family and household responsibilities, will create greater opportunities for sustainable enterprises run by women. This in turn will contribute to women’s economic empowerment and gender equality as well as helping to generate sustainable growth and jobs. While removing barriers is essential, investment is equally vital. Investing in women is one of the most effective means of increasing equality and promoting inclusive and sustainable economic growth. Investments in women-specific programmes can have significant knock-on effects for development, since women generally spend more of their income on the health, education and well-being of their families and communities than men do. While targeted measures can bridge the gap for women, it is also essential to remove discriminatory aspects of economic and social policies and programmes that may impede women’s full participation in the economy and society.
Discover the barriers holding companies back from having the diversified teams needed to boost their results, ignite innovation and excellence. Learn what can be done to bridge the gap.
As women, there are some things that specifically, as the female gender, that we do--or don't do--that tend to prevent us from going as far in our careers as we could.
Women's Empowerment Principles: Why Business Should Care?Dr Lendy Spires
Most readers are likely to agree that our society should be gender equal. Yet, as the evidence clearly illustrates, the real situation in our country does not resonate well for our collective aspiration of becoming a powerhouse of the global economy. Our record, in the case of many indices related to gender, is at par with, or worse than, some of the least developed nations in the world. Of course, things are changing for the better, in our boardrooms, offices, on factory floors, in colleges, schools and most importantly, in our families. While addressing gender stereotypes, biases and discrimination, we as individuals should be under no illusion and acknowledge that none of us are free of gendered perceptions. Gender stereotyping is systemic in all societies. It is there in varying degrees in each of us and hence in all the institutions that we operate in. What we have to be aware of is that our socialisation often makes us blind to many of our gender biases. As businesses, we are known for our innovation, resourcefulness and ability to get things done.We can potentially be an important game changer for women’s empowerment. The Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEP) launched by the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and UN for Women on 8th March, 2010, on International Women’s Day, is an important point of departure for all of us who would like business to play a crucial role in ushering in a gender equal society. The task at hand, once we are committed to the cause, is not easy, and there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution. As part of our leadership commitment, we need to take a hard and comprehensive look at how we – as individuals, companies and sectors – impact the lives of women within our spheres of influence, both with internal and external stakeholders. We need to then put in place conscious systems that foster equality between men and women. Such actions cannot be considered altruistic efforts. They are driven by self-interest and would be increasingly imperative in a company’s effort to remain at the top.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

1. Women – the Vital Force!
DISTRETTO SUD-OVEST
Convegno distrettuale
Soverato 15.6.2014
Tuulikki Juusela, BPW International President
1985-89
2. Some historical remarks
Beijing Platform for Action adopted by all
189 countries at the UN Fourth World Conference on
Women in 1995 and the Millennium Declaration
adopted by 189 countries in 2000, contribute to the
overarching human rights framework
”We all, men and women, need to ask ourselves
what we can do for the women who bear the
greatest responsibility for the world, and for the
future,” Helvi Sipilä urged women in Beijing
3. So True!
“We are smart, we are hard working and we know we are
doing good work, but we still find all sorts of reasons
for questioning whether we deserve more than we
already have. Women hope the world will figure out
how brilliant they are through their work, when in truth,
it is their job to get the word out."
”Even the most talented woman has a thousand
times more obstacles and difficulties in her path
than her male colleagues”- statement by
Famous Minna Canth from the 1880s
4. Nordic countries
By having a strategic focus on supporting working
parents and dual income families, these countries
have the smallest gender gaps in terms of
economic empowerment and political
participation (World Economic Forum)
and boast some of the highest birth rates in Europe
as well as some of the most stable economies
5. Nordic strategy - comprehensive
school system
In 1921 universal compulsory education in Finland
93 % of Finns graduate from high school
The difference between weakest and strongest students
is the smallest in the world
43 % of high school students go to vocational school
The school system is 100% state funded
Finland has same amount of teachers as New York city!
All teachers has to have a masters degree
Finland publishes more children's books than any other
country
6. Is Finland one of the very best places in
which a woman could live ?
The first in Europe to gain the franchise
1972 the Council for Equality to advise lawmakers on methods for
realizing full legal equality for women
1983 Legislation: both parents were to have equal rights for custody
of their children, parental leave
1987 Legislation: forbidding any discrimination on the basis of sex
and providing protection against it
1995 Legislation: gender-based discrimination on the labour
market prohibited
1999 the principles of equality mainsteraming incorporated into the
national employment programmes
7. The Finnish strategy, 4 components
Research and studies: ‘Female Leadership and Firm Profitability’ by the
Finnish Business and Policy Forum EVA35 demonstrated that firms led by
women are more profitable (10-20%) than those led by men.
Corporate governance code: in2008 updated code 36 includes the
recommendation that ‘…both genders shall be represented on the board’.
The code is applicable to large listed companies.
Quick governmental action: government has set the right example by putting
forward a target of appointing at least 40% women on boards of state-owned
companies and achieving it quickly.
Active role of the media: the Finnish media have actively published both
positive stories of companies that made a difference and bad examples of
companies with all-male boards. This has put pressure on companies to
make the necessary changes and avoid negative publicity.

9. EMPOWERMENT
Empowerment means that people -
both women and men – can take control
over their lives: set their own agendas,
gain skills (or have their own skills
and knowledge recognized), increase
self-confidence, solve problems, and
develop self-reliance. It is both a process
and an outcome.
6.3. 2014 marked 4 years since the launch of the WEP
10. Why get businessworld involved
Gender diversity helps business perform
better signals that self interest and common
interest can come together
Through ”gender lens” business can survey
and analyze current practices, benchmarks
and
reporting practices
11. Equality can be a plus
the skills, knowledge and experience of both
genders diversifies practices, makes
product and service development more
creative, and brings greater sensitivity to the
anticipation of customer needs - better
results
12. Building a diverse workforce
What is the representation of women at the bottom,
middle, and top levels of your organization?
What is the gender mix of your senior leadership?
What leadership roles do women occupy relative
to men?
What is the gender mix in your slate for senior
roles?
Is there a certain stage of career advancement
that women seem to be “getting stuck” and not
moving into leadership? Why?
13. Women at top level
The companies where women
are most strongly represented at board
or topmanagement level are also the
companies that perform best
sufficient participation of women
14. Goal setting is a must
Specific
Measurable
Challenging
Realistic
Time-limited
Action-oriented
Getting heard
Looking and acting the part
Focusing on the big picture
15. Gender diversity and business outcome
In Europe, of 89 publicly traded companies
with a market capitalization of over
150 million pounds, those with more
women in senior management and on
the board had, on average, more than
10 percent higher return on equity than
those companies with the least percentage
of women in leadership.
16. SMEs in Europe
are the main engine of growth and employment and they
harbour enormous potential for job creation.
There are 23 million SMEs in Europe, accounting for
more than 75 million jobs and over 80% of employment in
certain sectors, such as textiles,
construction and furniture.
17. “Generation Y”
will move not only among jobs, but also among
careers through their working lives, reinventing
themselves many times over;
for them, technology is not a tool but a part of what
they are (as shown by their use of social
networking and web 2.0 technologies);
they want challenges and development opportunities
from work, but also choice and flexibility in order
to accommodate their personal lives;
they value employers who demonstrate a
responsible approach to society and to
environment.
18. Womenomics
Refers to women as one of main engines of
growth.
Many economists say that women are one of
the three emerging forces shaping the 21st
century.
The three “Ws”:
Weather, Women and the Web
19. Networking is a prime component
In the future, information is power
The larger your Network, the better your chance of
finding out exactly what you need to know
Knowing whom to call is almost as good as knowing!
Networkers can accumulate influence or power by
control of information and, of course, by learning
20. Women - Mentoring
it has been said that women in mentoring relationships have
greater job satisfaction than women whitout mentors
a mentor can significantly accelerate a woman’s professional
development compared to that of women whitout mentors
mentors are important in introducing women to the
organization’s power structure, formal and informal.
women may face different problems to men in mentoring
relationships
21. To become successful Executive
Network-seize every opportunity
Be visible-develop contacts and resources
Develop your skills- skills inventory,
specialization, new skills
Have a plan- re-evaluate also
Keep up with the times-trends in the economy and
in your industry
Go online-power of Internet, access to knowledge
Do your homework-identify companies with
policies for women
22. To become successful Executive
Learn the corporate culture -
fundamentals,ask questions
Keep your eyes open-watch, listen, learn
Attend to the home front-support, balancing work
and family
Collect experience-even lateral moves
Get a mentor-female or male
Be personable- peers can influence a career
Keep your eyes on your goal-stay focused, admit
to the mistake, move on
23. Future - feminine!
“We must have the courage
to look far into the future”
Helle Kannila, Finland
“The future belongs to those of us, female or
male, who can adopt and embrace the
feminine archetype.”
John Hagel III,
cofounder Deloitte Center
for the Edge, Deloitte United States
24. An empowered woman has
Notions of self-worth and dignity (individual).
Bodily integrity; freedom from coercive forces over a woman’s
very body (individual and structure).
Control and influence over household and public resources
(structure and relations).
Experience with or appreciation of the value of collective
effort and solidarity among women (relations)
