Gender
4 November was Equal Pay Day in Europe, meaning that women effectively work for free for the rest of the year, due to the gender-pay gap. Globally, according to the World Economic Forum, there’s still an overall gap between men and women of 32%, with the largest differences on political empowerment (77%) and economic participation and opportunity (42%). In emerging knowledge economy careers like AI, only 22% are women. If nothing changes, it will take 202 years to close the gender-pay gap and 107 years to close the political divide. This is nothing short of blatant discrimination and economic madness.
