The Power of the Purse
By Azeemeh Zaheer
Women play a vital role as agents of change in any society. We are a valuable resource for development of the civil society and national economy when we are allowed to join equally with men. The 1 billion surge in women employees, employers, producers, and entrepreneurs in the next 10 years would improve not only gender equality, but global economic growth.
There is a game changer out there that transcends beyond cultures, beyond political borders, beyond governments, beyond office glass ceilings, beyond the restrictive corporate world, beyond hierarchy structures, beyond domestic issues, and beyond our fear of failure, this game changer is Technology. Business and social change is happening out there and no one will be able to stop women leveraging this movement. Suppliers sell through Twitter, governments are overthrown by social movements originating on Facebook, and women are creating all sorts of enterprises online.
More than 126 million women entrepreneurs were starting or running new businesses in 67 economies in 2012. This is our life today...can you imagine what the future holds for us? Technology is our translucent curtain and the curtain has yet to rise... our show is just beginning. In order to survive today, and play in a global arena, a corporation must build a sustainable platform, using technology, and innovation. They must allow for flexible working and must make it conducive and inclusive for both men and women. Women represent a growth market more than twice as big as China and India combined. We control $20 trillion in global consumer spending, own or operate between 25-33% of all private businesses, and earn an estimated $13 trillion.
Women have made great progress in the work place. All of us here are examples of this great phenomenon. Without dispute, there are some core issues that still that need to be ironed out. The onus is not just on the corporations, issue is not about men, the issue is culture and our socialization process. You must incorporate a solution that takes into account the culture and environment.
When it comes to investing, both men and women need to examine the same facts and due diligence. However there is a need for specific investment training for women in countries with a gender employment gap. Changing this dynamic could not only improve corporate performance but, help raise national productivity.
Education is one of the most powerful tools for empowering women, a catalyst for economic and social change. In the past few decades, the level of education among Gulf Cooperation Council women has improved significantly but still is not translating into jobs, especially in the banking, investment and real estate sectors.

Psychological Differences
between men and women
Money is never “just money”; it is a tool to accomplish many goals in life. Investing is about financing future dreams. We can fund our child's education, buy a home, travel to new places, eat well, embrace a number of hobbies, start a business and essentially have more freedom and flexibility in life. On the other hand, money is often used to control, or have power others, and create dependency. Money is emotional; there is excitement, hope, relief, fear, panic, and dependency. So essentially, because of its impact on our livelihood, money has the ability to reach deep into the human psyche.
Growing up, we all had different exposures and manifestations of money in our lives. We develop part of our financial psyche from historical gender norms and childhood experiences, which then affect many aspects of life from career to marriage and even investment appetite and view of risk.
Behavioural finance tells us that when we invest it is a function of emotion as much as logic – be aware of your own biases.
Studies indicate that women are more risk adverse than men even with the same level of education. Of course, there is a growing exception to this, women are often sharing that they do not understand financial products enough, and perhaps as a result, feel less confident about making financial decisions than men. Online research and data indicate that women are far more likely to favor simple investments over the more complex investment and higher risk strategies employed by men. Only 55.7% of women feel confident about their investing abilities versus 64.4% of men. (Source: Long Island University) Women take more time to investigate before they invest than men do. One study found that women spend 40% more time researching a before they invest and tend to be less impulsive. (Source: CondeNast)
Women live longer
Scientific data suggest that in today’s world, women (outside of extreme poverty) are expected to live an average of 7 to 10 years longer than men. Baby boomer women can expect to outlive their husbands by 15 to 20 years, on average. Essentially, women must have additional income for those extra years.
