Women: An economic force?


An article on working women around the world driving the economy forward has come out today. Statistics support this claim, "Female employment in the developed countries has driven growth in the past two decades, a feat not unknown to China, where 80 % of working women are employed in small-to-medium enterprises, and the Philippines, where 63 % of overseas workers who contribute their heroic remittances are women. In the rest of Asia, 65 % of women who work are in SMEs".
