Some of the trends to note are:
- According to current research, women now fill the majority of jobs in the US.
- Bloomberg reports that women now fill 51.4% of professional and managerial positions. Another study showed that 60% of all Masters degrees are going to women.
- Twenty-three percent of men don’t make as much as their wives. Single women between the ages of 22 and 30 earned 8% more than men in that age group in most American cities.
- C Level moms are no longer remarkable. In the IT sector, it became more common when we saw organizations like Hewlett-Packard, Xerox, EBay and Yahoo run by women who often had families as well as big jobs. Women often manage differently than men. Those organizations reflect that difference.
- Homes are now purchased twice as often by women than men.
- Single motherhood is now frequently a conscious lifestyle choice worldwide. Futurist Faith Popcorn reports that a third of Japanese women in their 30s are unmarried. Marriage has lost its status of mandatory life goal.
- Asians are leading the business trends toward more matriarchy with a third of Thailand’s CEOs being women and China showing 34% of all senior management positions being held by the ladies.
- Catalyst Organization reported in December that in the US those organizations with higher levels of gender diversity in the boardroom outperform companies with zero board women by 84% on sales, 60% on invested capital and 46% on return on equity.
