Description:

Just 22 countries have a woman as Head of State, only 21 per cent of Ministers are women, and women parliamentarians make up less than 25 per cent of national legislators.   In terms of healthcare, this is still a gross under-representation of women. This means that many of the unique issues that face women daily with regards to their health are either not addressed, or misunderstood. This can potentially lead to poor health outcomes in preventive health and in the treatment of diseases that present in women in a different way.

Enablers:

Increasing the power of woman in the workplace will provide opportunities for autonomy with decisions regarding their careers, health, and overall responsibilities. In this regard, education will be a critical part of their future. The future of education will be shaped by the rise of social media, the rise of youth and a growing awareness of the role of social media. In fact, research shows that the role of social media in education will become more and more important. In terms of the broader contexts, it is important to learn about how education will shape how we develop knowledge, and how it will shape society. The challenge is two-fold: creating communities that welcome the change that women with increased autonomy and self-direction in the workplace will create, and supporting those communities that become more innovative and resilient to that change in society.

Inhibitors:

There are still prevalent methods of thinking that state that increasing the power of the woman in the workplace will not ensure any opportunities for autonomy with decisions regarding their careers, health, and overall responsibilities because the skills of women and their participation in the workplace may still be aligned along with gender norms in the majority of workplaces. In addition, women may be more likely to be interested in different career trajectories and have different priorities with regard to their future careers. This may in turn cause several barriers in the effective function of companies.
