You Have Never Seen Women's Economic Opportunity Like This

Created: 02/09/11 by John Converse Townsend

The Economist set out to do the impossible: bring a one-of-a-kind, 150-page report on women's economic opportunity around the world to life. In just six minutes. (Video after the jump.)

To do this, the Economist hooked up with JESS3, a creative agency that specializes in powerful data visualization. The result? Well, the combination of JESS3's slick storytelling and the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU)'s hard-hitting data is as impressive as it is entertaining.

The Economist uncovered the factors most affecting women's ability to access business opportunities. They also revealed which countries best empower women by advancing both policy and programs to create more productive, inclusive economies. Curious to know where women stand in today's business world? Sit back and enjoy this eye-opening presentation.
