The @wef's Global #GenderGap24 report is now live. It shows only a slight improvement in the global gap, with parity still five generations away at current rates of progress.
However, in a historical election year, improving the #political participation of #women could have a significant impact.
Find out more about the top 10 and other key trends in the report: wef.ch/gendergap24 @LinkedIn @coursera @PwC

The world is full of problems, which people are often very aware of. But most people have no idea about the many improvements we have visualized, and therefore they lose hope for the future and think the world is doomed.

RIP. Bob Solow an absolute giant in Economics, has passed away at age 99. Tremendously influential in the profession and one of the key founders of the MIT Economics department as we live it today. Will be sorely missed.
