#10: Women in business
Work bit 1: According to the Center for Women’s Business Research, women now own nearly half of privately held businesses in the country. And their companies tend to be more profitable than those run by men.
Work bit 2: Women don’t get venture capital as easily as men. Women tend to talk in terms of ‘us’ and ‘we’, which investors take as a cue that women are not really in charge. It appears that investors prefer the ‘I’ and ‘me’ of men-talk.
Work bit 3: A survey by Deloitte found that almost 75% of 1400 global companies expect a shortage of salaried staff over the next 3-5 years. Come back baby-boomers!
Work bit 4: Or we can solve the shortage the French way. French mothers are paid more than $1000 per month to stop work for a year and have a third baby.
