The Double X Economy: Private Sector Engagement with Women’s Economic Empowerment

Problem identified with the world economy by Linda Scott

First, watch economist Linda Scott’s video about what she calls the “Double X Economy.” (If you have time, also view the longer video from 2012 that follows, in which she presents her research findings in depth). Then review her 2017 report, “Private sector engagement with women’s economic empowerment: Lessons learned from years of practice.” (You don’t need to read all 84 pages, just look for the main points.) After completing the above, prepare a paper that responds to the following: What problem does Scott identify with the world economy? What does she see as the most effective way to address the problem? What are the obstacles? Where might such solutions be most difficult to implement? What are the lessons learned? Based on your experience in your profession, provide evidence of the validity of Scott’s conclusions.
