the world of the future will be a woman's world. what are your views?

i think the world of the future will be a woman's world.

Girls get better grades at school than boys, and in most developed countries more women than men go to university. Women, thus, are better equipped for the workforce in the 21st century. In Britain far more women than men are now training to become doctors.

Furthermore, the increase in female employment in the rich world has been the main driving force of growth in the past couple of decades. although there are fewer women in high positions in top companies, women will have more opportunities to prove their productivity in the coming years. this will increase their income and women will get paid more.

many people think that if women were to work and rule the world, they will neglect their traditional responsiblilities, such as doing housework and minding the children, leading to a lower birth rate. however, developed countries where more women work, such as Sweden and America, actually have higher birth rates than Japan and Italy, where women stay at home.

therefore, as women has the potential to contribute to the society and at home, the future wll be a woman's world.
