WIRED UK | Paving the way for the next generation of women entrepreneurs | WIRED Smarter @wireduk | Uploaded January 2021 | Updated October 2024, 21 minutes ago.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been terrible for female entrepreneurs. Women are more likely to be furloughed and are 47 per cent more likely to have lost or quit their job. The International Monetary Fund has warned that Covid-19 threatens to roll back the last 30 years of economic gains for women. And it’s a similar outlook for women entrepreneurs.
If nothing changes, we are facing dire consequences for our global economy. In this panel from WIRED Smarter 2020, multi-award winning author, Elizabeth Uviebinené, Michelle Kennedy, founder and CEO of Peanut, one of the fastest-growing apps and social networks for women and Cherie Blair, the Founder of The Cherie Blair Foundation for Women share what can be done to fix this for the next generation of women entrepreneurs.
