June was a busy month. In the northern hemisphere gardens needed snipping, thinning and weeding. On the work front, we looked back at the first half of the year to take stock of all that we had accomplished–and what remained to be done. At Clear Strategy, helping people with staying on track for their 2023 goals was top of mind. We also looked to the future, at what Paris has planned for the 2024 Olympics. Finally, we reviewed some troubling data on the state of the worldwide gender gap, which shows no sign of closing in our grandchildrens’ lifetimes. In fact, according to the World Economic Forum, it will take up to 169 years to reach parity. Another trend that caught our eye was the stagnation of population growth in parts of the world. Increased educational and professional opportunities for women are factors fueling this trend (and providing upward momentum for gender parity). However, decreases in population require serious governmental action in order to avoid problems like underfunded programs to support the elderly. Have a look at our Articles to learn more.
