Digital Transition Debate with WIL Europe

Pink Shoe hosted WIL Europe at the Palace of Westminster for a breakfast debate on Digital Transition, followed by a Career Development Workshop for the young women of WIL’s Women Talent Pool program. 

Helene Martin Gee introduced the event then introduced WIL President Thaima Samman.

Helene then welcomed Fiona Capstick, Executive Director at EY Advisory, who gave us an insight into results from the World Economic Forum. 



Starting with the alarming fact that at the present rate it will be another 170 years until women have the same chances and wages as men, so objectives should be set with that in mind.

Fiona outlined the W20 recommendations towards advancing pay parity, encouraging entrepreneurship and bridging the technology divide. Fiona also highlighted that a lot of traditional white-collar jobs traditionally held by women will disappear due to digital transition which is a big issue to address.
