Technology was supposed to increase everyone’s leisure time, but instead it’s enabled people to work from wherever they are, or work where employees are scheduled by algorithm. How can technology empower women, both by expanding their opportunities for meaningful work, and also by countering the ‘greedy’ nature of work to expand everyone’s opportunities for leisure? What is the future of work, and how can employers, employees, and citizens harness technology and policy measures to ensure that the work of the future is meaningful?

If privileged groups clinging to the status quo are resisting progress on gender, environment, human rights and other forms of societal change, how far should society go to bring them into the fold – or abandon the effort altogether and turn to building new ground-up change? Perhaps ‘angry white men’, as New York Times columnist Paul Krugman characterised them, are angry for reasons that we need to acknowledge and understand, and rejecting their perspectives is counterproductive. Do women have a part to play in bringing them into an inclusive discussion?

How have leaders taken a courageous and inclusive stand on thorny societal challenges and how are they empowering others to do the same? What can we learn from these role models? Moderator: Swaha Pattanaik, Global Economics Editor, Reuters Breakingnews Speakers: Jean-Laurent Bonnafé, CEO, BNP Paribas, in conversation with Oulimata Sarr, Regional Director a.i, UNWOMEN Front-row commentator: Clover Hogan, CEO & Founder, Force of Nature

In recent years, grassroots movements like Extinction Rebellion and Occupy have called attention to climate change, inequality, forced migration and the other urgent challenges that threaten us. Such movements are stepping up where governments and business have left a gap or actively contributed to divisions and threats. Can they show each of us – as citizens, consumers, families, communities, and societies – how to take action for the world’s most urgent crises? What can government and business draw from working with, not against, grassroots movements for a more sustainable, inclusive future? Firestarter: Michelle Bachelet, High Commissioner, United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights *** Moderator: Dean Baquet, Executive Director, The New York Times Speakers: o Michelle Bachelet, High Commissioner, United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights o Ertharin Cousin, Distinguished Fellow Visiting Scholar, The Chicago Council on Global Affairs Center on Food Security and the Environment, Stanford University o Cloud McDowell, Activist, Extinction Rebellion o Alexandra Soto, COO, Lazard

From climate science to a massive revolution in how business thinks about value, how are women leading action to build an equitable future for all humanity? What are the elements we need for a new narrative that spurs human institutions – from governments to business to other organisations – to work together to achieve inclusive solutions and a sustainable future for all?

Capitalism is practised by economies throughout the word – sometimes at great societal cost. But business cannot thrive in societies that fail. Instead, to survive, business must shift to valuing people and environment as much as profit, and investors, workers and consumers can demand that companies behave more responsibly. Is this enough to achieve genuine and sustained inclusion? Instead of giving everyone a seat at the table, what can business, governments and individuals do to flip the table and better re-orient societies and economies to define and measure impact differently?

Today’s children will graduate into a markedly different future. To stay relevant in the workforce they may need to constantly evolve and develop their skills in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), among other contributions to societies and communities. What role do businesses, governments, institutions and new technologies play, whether in changing the image of STEM from intimidating to welcoming, or in delivering lifelong education and training to counter inequality, broaden inclusion, and empower all people to reach their full potential?

Just half the world’s female working-age population participate in the labour force, compared with 80% of men. That puts limits on economic growth, productivity and innovation. How can increasing women’s access to health, from vaccinations to period parity to technology such as breast pumps, benefit productivity and economic growth? How are technologies and tech infrastructure such as cloud-enabled telemedicine supporting inclusion for women and their families? What is the role of innovation and women’s entrepreneurship itself in boosting access to health, and increasing economic empowerment for women?

Companies today are more aware of how benefits like paid family leave signal gender inclusion and help retain a diverse workforce. But such well-meaning benefits are often limited to white-collar workers, and they paper over the fact that modern work demands more of our time and energy than ever. What does a truly inclusive work culture look like, and how can it drive creativity, innovation, and commitment? What infrastructure and practices, such as benefits or mental health wellness, help shape a happier, healthier workplace and society, and how can women (and men) work together to accelerate cultural shifts for more inclusive organisations and norms around work?

The World Bank estimate that businesses owned by women make up 35% of the formal economy, but receive only 1% of public and private spend – a clear obstacle to expanding women’s entrepreneurship and empowerment. What does moreinclusive economic empowerment look like? What role do gender-responsive public and corporate procurement and access to markets play in supporting women entrepreneurs? What infrastructure and support – legislation and policy, financial safety nets, new ways of working – is needed to achieve economic empowerment for all? Firestarter: Bruno Le Maire, Minister of the Economy, France Moderator: Karen Tso, Anchor, CNBC Speakers: o Anne-Gabrielle Heilbronner, Member of the Directoire & Secretary General, Publicis Groupe o Mara Marinaki, Principal Advisor on Gender and on the Implementation of UNSCR 1325 on Women, Peace and Security, European External Action Service o Alexandre Mars, Entrepreneur and Philanthropist o Fares Sayegh, Vice President – Global Supply Network and Business Services, P&G

When women entrepreneurs are empowered by access to markets, they can also drive wider cultural and societal change, from building a more inclusive tech sector to leading climate action through recycling or renewable energy. What can entrepreneurs in developed and developing environments draw from each other’s experiences? What policies and support do they need from governments and businesses? How can governments, corporates and entrepreneurs from Francophone countries and cities use their shared connections to drive greater inclusion and empowerment of women?

Economic, societal and cultural forces can drive deepening divisions between genders, between those at the top and bottom of the wealth scale, between geographies. So fundamental is this challenge that the G7 named tackling inequality its top priority for 2019. How can we harness technology, markets and human behaviour to accelerate inclusion instead of driving division? How can we re-envision truly inclusive economies and societies, communities, organisations and systems, and devise new ways to overcome resistance to change? How can business leaders, policymakers and citizens better contribute to the G7 and G20 conversation, to create a rising tide that lifts all boats fairly?

La France pionnière du leadership au féminin dans un monde en plein transformation.

While global inequality has fallen as poor countries catch up with richer ones, economic inequality within countries has not, and it is clear that globalisation has not been a win-win for all. How can the power of finance, financial markets and systems, and financial institutions be harnessed to address economic inequality? As the financial technology or fintech industry grows, how can we build in inclusion from the ground up? Can addressing gender and other social inequalities in finance support the development of more economically-inclusive financial systems?
