Government needs to close the pay equity gap. This is ridiculous as it promotes the unrealistic theory that a woman's capabilities are of a lesser quality than that of a man. As well, many tend to believe that women just can't figure the numbers. However, if there were more women teaching MBA programs the real message about our world of entrepreneurship would come across. As well, it would make men more sensitive to the problems we face without immediately assuming we are whining.
Women can become more involved in non-traditional roles, chambers and business organizations.
Women should patronize businesses, banks and other entities that value women in the economic sector. Choose a female investment banker, bank officer, doctor, engineer, subconsultant, etc. Once we invest our resources in women we will grow as a whole. Others will see our skills and talents thus do the same. It is has been done for years by certain ethnic and religious groups, we just have not been acutely aware of it.
