why do nordics trailblaze?s down to family—friendly policies, such as subsidised childcare, paid leave for both parents and flexi working hours, also, they have rules to promote a level playing field for women at work. they also boast the highest female workforce participation rates in the world and that fuels economic growth. the oecd cites this as a reason why national output or gdp per capita has been boosted by ten to 20% over the past a0 to 50 years. saadia zahidi heads up the centre for the new economy and society at the world economic forum. shejoins me from geneva. thank you year have made progress. it and this year have made progress. it is not just and this year have made progress. it is notjust the nordics. what is clear is what the nordics are doing isa clear is what the nordics are doing is a recipe for other countries to follow regardless of their current level of development. these countries have a history of driving these changes because they value equality amongst all of their human capital. we

mali in previous years nordic countries continue to lead the way to gender parity iceland is in the top spot for the 11th year in a row the country's gender parity is nearly as 88 percent according to the world economic forum norway finland and sweden follow closely surprisingly nicaragua is also right in the top 5 and rwanda rwanda number 9 beating germany which runs up the top 10 gender parity is more involved in german politics than it is in business they say the world economic forum expects it to take another 100 years before total gender parity is achieved earlier i spoke to somebody as a heating she's a managing director asked the world economic forum in geneva and i asked her if we could still be proud of what has been achieved is that we can say is that there has been a slight improvement in the pace of change on closing the gender gap so it's 99.5 years now compared to 108 years but that is certainly not good enough and we will need to make a lot of changes if we want to accelerate the path to gender parity particularly over this next decade i mean we're sitting on the edge of

of living for the majority of their citizens that's something i think we can what's one or all the nordic countries right you know it's interesting to have them up higher rates of legs and let me tell you something has better health outcomes better education outcomes at least a few other things that people don't realize are not economies sweden has the highest wealth inequality in all of europe it's privatized the schools it's private a lot of the hospitals agree with you it has very high standards of living in a very large safety net that helps a lot of people but it's not the picture that bernie sanders who said i was going to say was that those countries have historically had a much better outcomes because they've had a bigger role for the state in providing all these things that's not only the lives that have been 40 years those protections social institutions public services have been eroded if you look at the most prosperous countries in the world they have the rule of law they have very well protected property rights in we have a big role for markets even within the provision of pu

capitalism socialism they say all social is really bad venezuela and then you say what about the nordic countries and they said oh actually they're capitalist countries just like ours when you kind of are both ways if they're so similar to the u.s. the more does the u.s. do what those countries are doing in terms of regulation well it doesn't really like the extent and usually multiple u.s. economy is similar to the norwegian economy in many ways it is yeah i mean it's open to trade it has capital mobility it doesn't it doesn't. have the same level of good wages minimum wage the taxpayer pays for more health care in sweden. the provision of health care is in many ways the same as it is and you know there is a point that when it is it's not universe there in the it's that which is that both systems are all caps or systems as and they are economies in which there is private ownership of the most important resources we need to produce stuff and those are also used to maximize profit and i supported by the state what's socialist today are arguing for is a step beyond that is socialized owne

of the latest study of the world economic forum on the issue of gender gap like in previous years nordic countries continue to lead the way to gender parity not iceland is in 1st place for the eleventh's year in a row the country's gender parity is nearly 88 percent that's according to the w e f norway finland and sweden follow close nicaragua is also granted in the top 5 and rwanda at number 9 beating germany which rounds up the top 10 gender parity is more advanced in german politics than it is a business on the whole the w e f recommends reducing the wage gap between the sexes the situation doesn't look like it's improving fast enough globally the world economic forum expects it to take another 100 years before gender parity is achieved well let's discuss this now with our financial market correspondent kyung lah who's in has done it by for us in frankfurt call us all right so i think the most important thing for us here is that germany has a lot of catching up to do how big an issue is gender parity for business here. i have to say monica it's a big issue on international women's day

and nordic countries lead the way again. its slot as the world's most gender—equal country, followed by norway, finland, sweden and in fifth place nicaragua. here's a surprise, rwanda in ninth place beating germany. that gives you a snapshot. i'm joined by anju solanki, founder of mea consulting group, which advises ftse250 companies and beyond on their gender diversity strategy. good morning and thank you for coming in. thank you. just explain the measurement of the gender gap, how does that work? the clever gender gap is comprised of four focus areas. that's political empowerment, education, health and economic participation. and where we have really seen that narrowing, or the slight narrowing has come from the slight narrowing has come from the political empowerment framework. we saw from last week because my general election in the uk alone we had a record number of female mps enter parliament at 220, that is only a third of parliament, but we are seeing that shift. it is interesting actually, because we before we had t

is executive director of the nordic center for conflict transformation he says the sentencings are an important moment while jerry. in the 1st time in algeria prime ministers are tried since the independence of the country and what is important to mention also the trials. are selective and the informal enforcement is also elective and this comes in haim when elections have already started outside of syria among the algerian obviously and in the context in which the process process continue for over 40 years and by this i would like to thank the young women and men who are in the streets in ontario in the last trading for more than 40 weeks and this is not what they expected from the system. it is not really about the the the census in itself but it's about how the same system that created these judges who are pronouncing the sentences is the same system that created how these ministers were holding power allegedly and misusing allegedly the public funds so these are the main question that needs to be massive. plenty more ahead on the news hour including india's nor house of parliament

we have here and internment, a clear strategy of the long-term change of my nordic societies.even though parts of the internment is winding down and as china itself says, some persons are being shifted out of internment to the next phase, which they call release, there's a long-term plan the height it. it's important to keep in mind the long-term plan behind internment in who they are counted, who been breaking because reeducation is with a breaking of the people on the inside and try to change them forever, if that should be possible to break the human seoul. the second aspect i had to go very briefly is intergenerational a separation. a massive increase in the governments capacity and ability to shelter children, minority children, full-time in boarding facilities from young ages. and the third what is labor, this particular spreadsheet entry showing the construction of notice for blocks on the grounds of a vocational over 30,000n't come square, proximally 290,000 square feet. these factors of course, all kinds of shapes and sizes. they might be inside internment camp compou

you'll have opportunity to answer questions to my nordic counsel. mr. castor: we will sidestep the poker meeting? >> you will have an opportunity to talk about that. let me go to slide 19. the president says he is being interviewed, the same day, at giuliani he is asked, is leaving soon, i think any next couple days. mr. trump says, i will speak to him about it before he leaves. 20.me go to slide giuliani continues his pressure on president zelensky. out one is a tweety put june 21, 2019, about a month before the call. he says, new president of ukraine silent on investigation of ukraine interference on 2016 and alleged joe biden bribery of the prior president. as you said, the ukrainians knew that mr. giuliani had of the year his client, mr. trump. is that correct? giuliani was doing some things out here, then he became involved with the official channel, with volker meeting,and, at that on july 19, volker counseled against the perspective giuliani was taking. , this me ask mr. goldman tweet, is that referring to a personal political issue of president

reason for that to change, that in a post-financial crisis environment like we had in japan or in the nordic or canada in the 1990's, you would have long, steady expansions. so when you start talking about these things, i think housing, just, durable goods, even straight up wages have a long way to go. the whining you here occasionally about wages from businesses is just because they haven't had to pay half of the increased wages for a long time. so i think there's room to go. david: can you keep the consumer and the growth going, wage and job growth going, if you don't have capital investment? that seems to have trailed off some. don't you have to keep that going? need long-term, yes, you to have capital investment to get productivity growth, to replace depreciated machinery and get movement in those sectors, but short-term, that is not the case. you can look at japan, which had a very long-lasting recession, totally driven by consumer. the corporate's were just saving, saving, saving. you can go a very long way with that. david: adam, thank you so much for being with us. that is adam posen

we thought the nordic model was a good one but that is having problems. and growth and dynamism from a free and open society while still protecting your society and the masses of people in your society from the change in inequality and turbulence and destruction of community and capitals does capitalism brings. -- capitalism brings. francine: that is why it is so difficult for markets to model it. dennis: i am a believer and continue to be a believer in the freest form of capitalism ever because it has elevated more people out of poverty than socialism shall ever dream of doing. it is disconcerting to find out the public school systems, especially at universities, are embracing socialism. what are they thinking? if you are not a socialist at 20, you have no money. you have no brains and if you are not a capitalist by 45 you have no money. in thethis we are seeing popular movement around the world and playing out in elections. the top-tier have generated a lot of wealth for themselves. i am pro capitalism. it is why we all have jobs, but -- in terms of equ
