Deeply Talks: Women’s Advancement in 2018, Dispatch from Davos

On our first episode of the year, we lay out the crucial issues on women’s economic advancement that we will examine in 2018, and discuss how #WEF18 did on gender this year, with a live dispatch from Davos.

While the World Economic Forum estimates the gender gaps in health and education to be more than 90 percent closed, the economic gender gap is only 58 percent closed, and progress is slipping backward. At the current rate of change, the gap will not close for another two centuries.

In our first Deeply Talks call of 2018, we discussed the launch of our newest platform, Women’s Advancement Deeply, which will focus on women’s economic advancement in the developing world.

Managing editor Megan Clement and senior editor Jumana Farouky laid out some of the crucial issues we’ll dig into in 2018, including the social, political and cultural barriers women and girls face in securing full economic equality.

Executive editor Lara Setrakian joined the call from the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, providing a look back at the biggest discussions of the week with a focus on gender, in conversation with Alison Holder, director of Equal Measures 2030, who provided insights on what she hopes is ahead for data, systemic change and the future of WEF’s annual meetings.
