Gen Z is 2 generations, not one. Each gender inhabits different spaces online. Important insights for organizations looking to engage Gen Z.

According to the Talent InSight 2030 Report, the female workforce in Hamilton County is projected to grow at a higher rate than the male workforce among the 20-64 age group from 2021 to 2030. This indicates that more women in this age range are choosing to enter the workforce compared to men. 📈 Want to know more?

The growing gender divide is a clear sign of a much-needed social shift towards a more just and equitable society. Measuring globally public opinion regarding general ideology from Gallup data, there is a widening gender gap among young men and women. According to the report, women aged 18 to 30 are now 30% more liberal than men. What may be the cause of this tremendous divide that has emerged in within the last six years? There could be a variety of factors involved… ➤ The #MeToo movement was a major driver among young women who were encouraged to speak out against a centuries-old injustices. ➤ Young women take much more liberal views on immigration and racial justice than young men. ➤ Young men and women are increasingly living separate ‘realities’ on social media and experiencing distinct cultures and influences. For example, chatting with my 15-year-old daughter, I am deeply concerned about how misogynist Andrew Tate impacts young men's beliefs. ➤ Further research reveals that both liberals and women are better educated. According to US data, the majority of educated Americans have become more liberal in recent decades. When it comes to higher education demographics, women outnumber men in getting a degree. One thing is sure: our world is changing, and we need to improve our understanding and adapt accordingly. #socialtransformation #gendergap #adaptation #awareness #foresight #ideology https://lnkd.in/dyfkM-mj https://lnkd.in/dttyJwXc https://lnkd.in/dnhVMEqX

Ageism Vs. Women—Younger Women Feel Ageism More than Men: Women must navigate the intersection between ageism and sexism.  Women experience gendered ageism, illustrated in the pressure on women to dye their gray hair.  Younger women face questions about their status as wives and mothers. The content raises these issues: How can younger women fight ageism and sexism at work? How can mature women cope with ageism and challenges to their authority? How can organizations create cultures where women can flourish no matter what their age?  https://lnkd.in/g-j862wf #Women #ageism #millennials #GenZ #work #CNBC #JoyceFlory #ghostwriter

Recently, a government in Eastern Europe (I will not name names) rejected the People Power foresight game I designed on the futures of demographics and canceled the planned workshop. Their reason? They have already decided that government policy should focus on how to encourage women to have more children. 🚫 Why this stance is misguided: Narrow focus: Relying solely on increasing birth rates overlooks the multifaceted nature of demographic changes, including aging populations, migration, disruptive technologies, and shifting family structures, to name but a few. Plus no government, authoritarian or egalitarian, has been able to sustainably increase birthrates long term. Women's rights: Imposing societal expectations on women to have more children infringes on their rights and autonomy. True progress respects individual choices and promotes gender equality. Missed opportunities: Rejecting innovative tools like People Power limits the ability to explore diverse, sustainable, transdisciplinary perspectives and solutions for a range of demographic challenges now and in the future. 🎲 So, why play the game?: Holistic approach: The game encourages a comprehensive understanding of demographic trends, considering political, cultural, and technological factors. Engagement and inclusion: It fosters inclusive dialogue, empowering diverse voices to contribute to shaping the future. Proactive planning: By anticipating emerging issues and potential scenarios, policymakers can develop more resilient and adaptive strategies. It's crucial that we embrace forward-thinking approaches that respect individual rights and promote sustainable solutions. The People Power foresight game offers a valuable platform for this, but you have to play it to find out! Let's champion innovative tools and inclusive dialogue for a better, more equitable future! 💪✨ Follow us at People Power Foresight 🙏 #Foresight #futures #Demographics #PeoplePower

A new global survey conducted by Women of Influence+ finds that ageism against women is pervasive everywhere. "Ageism is overwhelmingly present in workplaces across the globe. According to the findings, nearly 80 per cent (77.8 per cent) of women surveyed have encountered age-related discrimination in their careers, underscoring ageism as a critical yet often overlooked barrier to professional growth. Ageism is a form of discrimination and prejudice that is directed towards individuals or groups based on their age. This social construct often leads to stereotyping and generalizing people based on their chronological age, regardless of their individual capabilities, experiences, or personal attributes. It can negatively impact individuals at all stages of their careers, leading to unfair treatment, limited opportunities, and marginalization. 'Nearly 80 per cent of women encountering ageism in the workplace is not just a statistic; it’s a clear indication that we are facing a pervasive and systemic issue,' said Dr. Rumeet Billan, CEO, Women of Influence+. 'Our survey sheds light on the hidden barriers many self-identifying women face, that not only hinder their career progression but also impact their confidence and well-being.' Conducted between January and February 2024, the survey received responses from more than 1,250 women across 46 countries, spanning various industries. The survey explores the nuances of ageism and its impact on women in the workplace."

For an aspect of a woman’s life to be stigmatized, it doesn’t have to be marginal. Or even unusual. It can be the most basic, universal truth there is. Let’s take a look at aging. Everyone, of every gender, does it. BUT. Once women age, they’re no longer useful to society. Employers may assume middle-aged women have less energy or ambition than their male counterparts. Media representation drops then dwindles to nearly nothing once women reach 60. Not to mention, according to society, a woman over 40 is no longer a sexual being. Women functionally disappear at a certain age. And ironically, it’s at this age of invisibility that most women we surveyed in our breakthrough Women 40+ Survey felt best about themselves. Why do you suppose that is? We’ve got a couple of theories. Happy to discuss.

If you read one thing on youth audiences this week - it’s this article. Exploring the ideological divide among Gen Z, specifically based on gender and political views. Lots of evidence from different countries on increasingly liberal views of young women and their male counterparts are either staying the same or more right leaning, in some cases far right (some recent articles explored this happening in Germany). More than just a “youth trend”, this is on a par with the growing social-economic divide we’re seeing among Gen Z and the Gen Alphas behind them. As the article articulates, this could have some significant impacts. https://lnkd.in/emVzk97T
