Womenomics - Walking the Walk with Kathy Matsui
|
|
Womenomics is the term Kathy Matsui coined to analyze the gap between gender employment and GDP in Japan. For more than 20 years, Matsui has conducted research that set off a national conversation that influenced Japanese government policies on women at work and continues to have an impact today.
A second-generation Japanese American, former vice-chair of Goldman Sachs Japan, strategist and author, Matsui recently co-founded one of Japan’s first all-women, ESG-focused venture capital funds. Gain insights as Matsui shares stories from her career journey. Take special note of her new initiative, which is breaking ground in Japan and setting an example for women and investors globally.
Please email your questions to eduhongkong@100women.org by Friday, September 3rd, 2021 or you may submit them during the session.
Produced by the 100WF Hong Kong Education Committee.
