NEW YORK, July 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Are corporations prepared for a gender revolution? Today, Coqual, a leading global think tank, released its new report, "Challenging Norms: A Global Analysis of Gender at Work," that examines gender equity at work in eight markets: Australia, Brazil, Germany, India, Japan, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The report finds that while there has been notable progress, achieving gender equity is still a challenge globally. Through an intersectional lens, the new research considers how race, class, caste, sexuality, and other identity characteristics complicate how gender is seen, experienced, and understood in employees' daily lives. 

Key Points: 
  • The report finds that while there has been notable progress, achieving gender equity is still a challenge globally.
  • and addresses the challenges that women face regarding pay, career mobility, prejudice in the workplace, and outdated cultural gender norms.
  • The report also highlights the unique experiences of transgender and gender diverse (TGD) professionals and unveils a major generational shift in how respondents understand gender identity and expression.
  • "Women, transgender, and gender diverse professionals all face different challenges, and Coqual's new report provides actionable ways for companies to navigate the complexities of gender around the world."

The war in Ukraine drove up energy costs, leading to high inflation and a cost of living crisis in many developed economies.

Key Points: 
  • The war in Ukraine drove up energy costs, leading to high inflation and a cost of living crisis in many developed economies.
  • In the UK, these pressures had combined with the effects of Brexit to sharply raise the cost of doing business.
  • We found the UK was in the midst of an uncertain summer that made people less inclined to start businesses.

The Johnson/Truss effect

    • Once we had concluded our fieldwork in September, the rate of entrepreneurship among all 10,000 respondents was 11%, suggesting it declined over the summer.
    • If we just compare the phone interview statistics to factor out any potential variations in how people answer the two types of survey, it’s even more compelling.
    • The final 1,000 phone interviewees in the weeks after Johnson had resigned showed an entrepreneurship rate of just 7.4%.
    • This is hardly surprising as the relentlessly negative headlines about the state of politics and the economy filtered through to people’s economic choices.

More bad news and a couple of positives

    • The Gem surveys began as a joint research project between Babson College in the US and London Business School in the UK.
    • The UK’s ranking in the overall quality of its entrepreneurship ecosystem also fell to 25th in 2022 from 18th the year before.
    • This is assessed based on a survey of 36 entrepreneurship experts on 13 parameters, such as financing and physical infrastructure.
    • In the context of the overall discontent, this rise suggests that female entrepreneurship is quite resilient in the UK.
    • We also need UK business-support initiatives to continue, like the Help to Grow programme, Growth Hub network and Innovate UK.
