This podcast episode explores the stalling progress of women in the workforce despite advancements, highlighting the persistence of the gender pay gap and the underrepresentation of women in high-paid fields. It introduces the winner-take-all approach in business culture, which places women at a disadvantage and prioritizes short-term gains over ethical concerns. The episode discusses the systemic shift towards this approach since the 1980s and its impact on gender equality. It also discusses the need for changes such as speaking out against abusive behavior, promoting gender diversity, government investment in childcare and paid family leave, and stronger regulation of misbehaving companies to address the winner-take-all culture.
