Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Designing industrial policy for gender equality
Q: What would you recommend as a practical first step for policymakers tomorrow?
Engage in social dialogue with women's and workers' organizations and employers to ensure participation in design and monitoring, so results can be shared and ownership is widespread.
Designing industrial policy for gender equality
Q: What example from the UK manufacturing sector might be applicable elsewhere?
A networked governance model with clear missions and measurable targets—such as increasing women's participation to a defined target by a future year—and three pillars: awareness, evidence, and informing policy, with close collaboration to government partners.
Designing industrial policy for gender equality
Q: What specific steps can policymakers take to design gender-responsive industrial policy?
Begin with a gender-responsive diagnostic, move to concrete policy measures rather than broad statements, ensure ongoing monitoring and evaluation, and foster social dialogue to secure buy-in from all stakeholders.
Designing industrial policy for gender equality
Q: Jennifer, what are the missed opportunities if gender isn't considered in policy planning?
If gender gaps aren't addressed, societies miss out on expanding the talent pool, achieving more inclusive workplaces, and realizing higher productivity and economic growth through a more equitable distribution of opportunities.
Digital trade: Asia's next phase of economic integration
Q: For context, could you briefly describe what's the current landscape of trade and economic integration in Asia, and what are the factors that have most affected it in the last decade or so?
Asia's integration is accelerating in size and quality, driven by production networks with a growing share of intermediate goods, while final demand still comes from the US and Europe; China remains a key production hub but has diversified with Asia-centric re-routing, and governance shifts under recent geopolitics have pushed supply chains toward multi-hub, risk-aware configurations.
