Calcalist posts “Men of the Year” — exactly

1379 Hits

"Who are your Men of the Year in the Israeli economy?" booms the headline in Israeli economic paper Calcalist. They are conducting a survey for the most influential "men" in fields of finance, real estate, hi-tech, marketing, law, the public sector and more. Of the 47 candidates, seven are women -- less than 15%. In a few categories, there are no women at all, such as industry, hi-tech, real estate and the public sector. Philanthropy actually has two women -- Shari Arinson and Liat Zvi. Interesting. The failure of women to be acknowledged for their work is symptomatic not only of these highest echelons of the economy but characterizes the entire system.
