The real issues at Women20 | Business | DW.COM | 26.04.2017
A number of issues came up at the Women20 Summit in Berlin. Annette Niederfranke, Director of the International Labor Organization, brought up the issue of family reconciliation as "one of the toughest challenges for working women worldwide," that in order to meet obligations women tended to work in "non standard forms of employment and in part time work linked to lower wages, lower social security, lower benefits, and fewer training possibilities." Childcare was also an issue that was prominent considering the lack of adequate childcare in many countries including in the European Union. With responsibilities for the elderly, babies, and small children women tend to be in the workforce for shorter periods leading to men taking up many of the higher positions. Angela Merkel pointed out that Gemany tended to take a narrow view of professions available to girls, saying- "So it is very very important that we take a broader view of things while girls are still at school." Merkel also supports a Africa compact that would help women set up small and middle size businesses in poor countries. The "Digital" aspects of this and other efforts for women were a major topic being discussed. One idea that came up was that more cooperation from men was needed to make things happen. This is the third Women20 Summit after ones in Turkey and China, and a sense of momentum was felt by women.

Women and low wage minijobs in Germany
08/14/2010
Germany's Ministry for Family Affairs recently completed a study showing minijobs for women in retail, healthcare and other fields puts women in deadend jobs and a situation of "lifelong economic powerlessness and dependence for women." The numbers for minijobs paying low wages in parttime work show large increases in 1999-2010, the same period when unemployment declined in Germany to 6.9% by 2013.

Japan and working women in business and government- Miyuki Hatoyama and Japan's "male-centred society"
12/22/2009
Miyuki Hatoyama says Japan is still a male centred society and says there is a need to change that. As old social structures break down women have less help with child care in the home, there are less child care facilities available, and women are still seen as responsible for taking care of elderly parents. Her husband was elected as DPJ party prime minister in 2010. Mr Hatoyama studied engineering for a PhD. from Stanford and met Miyuki in San Francisco. Both go together for dinner at restaurants, hold hands, and Mr Hatoyama does the dishes. Miyuki Hatoyama has written about cooking and supernatural events.

Hurting economic growth and productivity in America- the lack of paid leave for women
07/28/2014
Women earn 59% of higher education degrees in America, by one estimate. Their contribution to science and technological progress would be higher with paid leave for maternity and other reasons. Participation of women in the workforce is being addressed in Japan and Germany, with calls for better child cares facilities and family friendly workplace policies. Strangely one hears less of this in the U.S. even at a time when participation in the workforce for women is declining along with an overall drop in the labor force participation rate.

Low wages in minijobs as the blemish in the "Jobswunder" in Germany
05/26/2010
A quick look at the graphs for the increase in low wage jobs and the reduction in the number of people classified as jobless in Germany for 1999- 2010 shows a disturbing trend beneath the good numbers- a significant part of the increase in jobs is made up of low wage jobs. In the beginning the minijobs and tax free income for upto 450 euros a month earned on a minijob was designed to be a ladder to full time jobs, but this is now clearly not the case as most offer no future prospects for full time work. Many of these workers are women in retail, restaurant and other parttime work and leads to further dependency and dead end status for them.

How lack of family friendly maternity leave and paid leave hurts women in business and the workforce in America
07/28/2014
The U.S. is the only country of western developed nations that has no national paid maternity leave. California has introduced paid maternity leave. As a result only 59% of American women enjoy paid maternity leave, according to one estimate. The result is lower labor force participation in the U.S. for women, hurting economic growth, hurting the contribution women can make to business and other sectors of the economy, and to science and technological progress. Claire Cain Miller points this out in this exceptional report in the NYT.

Proportion of working age women that are employed- Japan at 64% passes the U.S. at 63% by 2015
10/16/2015
The U.S. has slipped from 7th to 20th place of 24 countries surveyed according to Jason Furman, chairman of president Obama's Council of Economic Advisors. Collins attributes this to poor child care resources available to working women and points out that this matters as it crimps family incomes. Japan is investing in pre kindergarden spaces and other ways to help women enter the work force as its population ages and it needs ways to boost the economy.

Germany and the child care education workers strike in June 2015- national priorities and a question on wages of service workers
06/05/2015
Should child care workers required to have 3 years of training and often a college degree make the same as entry level workers in manufacturing, even after they have worked in the field for many years, is the question about national priorities that is being posed in Germany in 2015. Has Germany's economic revival left behind many workers outside manufacturing, who lack the strong representation of manufacturing unions, including workers in a field so closely allied with education- early child care education which takes place in child care centers.

Catchup to do for the U.S.- Only 13% of working mothers have access to paid leave, and 25% of mothers go back to work in 2 weeks after delivery
08/20/2015
Only 13% of working mothers in the U.S. have access to paid leave according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is far behind European countries. The U.S. and Japan lag far behind Europe in this crucial field. For Japan which needs women to increase the size of the workforce with the demographic trend of aging population, it is critical to have more young women work full time.

South Korea's remarkable transformation in attitudes towards women, towards female childbirths and female children 1990-2016
11/27/2015
In a remarkable turnaround South Korea was able to transform attitudes towards female childbirths so that there are now 105 males to 100 females in 2015, about the same as in the U.S. and Europe. Geeta Anand and Jaeyeon Woo provide this heartwarming story of how women activists in South Korea, the media, government and the courts, all helped to set in place a change of perceptions in society, ensuring women are recognized as heirs for family lineage, providing women other rights, so that mothers now are just as happy when a child is female. The South Korean example offers hope for China and India to reverse the dangerous trend in society of having a huge disparity between male and female births and ratios, but only if society is mobilized to take action now as happened in South Korea. China's two child policy is a step in the right direction but many see it as not enough, or too little too late.

To Lift Growth, Janet Yellen Says, Make It Easier for Women to Work
The New York Times 05/05/2017
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
