Women in the workforce: Analyzing the gains and gaps
Kathy Matsui, Sharon Bell, Asahi Pompey, Alison Nathan
Global female labor participation has surged in nations like Japan and Italy through policy-driven shifts in childcare and work-hour regulations, yet the United States faces stagnation due to a lack of supportive infrastructure compared to European counterparts. While the gender pay gap has narrowed in most OECD countries and women are increasingly dominating educational pipelines, significant disparities remain in corporate leadership, with women holding only 9% of S&P 500 CEO roles. To address these structural imbalances, strategic initiatives are focusing on closing the $1.7 trillion capital gap for women entrepreneurs and reforming legal barriers to ensure equitable economic growth.

By operating as an R&D laboratory for policy and providing essential financial education, HOPE is systematically addressing the determinants of economic mobility to foster sustainable development in underserved regions.

From Crisis to Confidence: How Women Entrepreneurs Fared During the Pandemic
Asahi Pompey, Candice Tse, Allison Nathan, Mancha Feha
Goldman Sachs surveyed 1,100 women entrepreneurs across 37 countries to reveal that while 60% suffered revenue declines during the pandemic, 86% maintained operations despite caregiving burdens and sector-specific lockdowns. Driven by a "boom vs. bust" dynamic where retail and service sectors faltered while technology grew, 70% of respondents pivoted their models and accelerated digital adoption to survive. The study highlights that despite regional confidence gaps and financial pressures, 78% of these leaders remain optimistic, prompting Goldman Sachs to launch new digital training initiatives and advocate for expanded capital and childcare support to secure global economic recovery.
