As fans of the BlogHer conference, we found this article intriguing. In the article, Women in the workforce: The importance of sex, the Economist reports on why in business, “it’s a women’s world.”
Consider the following:
“Girls get better grades at school than boys, and in most developed countries more women than men go to university. Women will thus be better equipped for the new jobs of the 21st century, in which brains count a lot more than brawn. In Britain far more women than men are now training to become doctors. And women are more likely to provide sound advice on investing their parents’ nest egg: surveys show that women consistently achieve higher financial returns than men do.”
AND:
“Furthermore, the increase in female employment in the rich world has been the main driving force of growth in the past couple of decades. Those women have contributed more to global GDP growth than have either new technology or the new giants, China and India.”
Luckily, we’ve seen women embrace blogging in a big way, and also they’ve been integral to the growth of blogging in business. It’s resources like BlogHer that are helping to move blogging into the mainstream.
