In most parts of the world, the gender gap - the difference in opportunities and outcomes for women compared to men - is closing. But closing so slowly that it would take, at the current rate of progress, until 2154 for men and women to be truly equal.

That statistic comes from the World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report, an extensive, annual survey whose latest edition has just been published.

In this episode, World Economic Forum Managing Director Saadia Zahidi picks some highlights from the report - which has lots to say about the state of gender inequality in the post-pandemic, cost-of-living squeezed world.

We also hear from Sue Duke, Vice-President of LinkedIn where she heads public policy.

Sue talks about the challenges facing women in the workplace, particularly in the area of STEM - science, technology, engineering and maths - and how tricky is still is for women to get to the top of companies (the 'C-suite').

Please note the final episode of our AI series will be published next week.

"AI will have some form of intelligence that will either compete with us or augment us. This is a question for us as a species. For the past thousands of years, we didn't have a cousin or a brother and now we may have one. So it is how we understand that and how we deal with it."

On Episode 4 of our special series on generative AI, we consider the options for how we can govern the rapidly growing technology.

Guests: Amir Banifatemi, Director, AI Commons; Cyrus Hodes Co-Founder of AIGC Chain and Stability AI, Harvard Kennedy School of Government

Wondering what job you'll be doing in five years' time? Chances are it may be quite different from what you do now, and you'll need different skills. The transition to clean energy and the rise of artificial intelligence are likely to have a big impact on the world of work so employers, too, need to adopt a 'skills-first' mindset.

We hear from Tan Kok Yam, Chief Executive of SkillsFuture Singapore, who is putting theory into action, and to Tarika Barrett, CEO of Girls Who Code, a non-profit that equips young women with the computing skills to pursue 21st century opportunities.
