No Second Class Citizens
Throughout the history of humanity, women have been treated as second-class citizens. We have been seen as minorities, despite representing 50% of the world's population, and when it comes to leadership, we have consistently been underrepresented. This situation leads to our needs being sidelined. That is why, in this podcast, I want to place women where we rightfully belong: as first-class citizens.
A lo largo de la historia de la humanidad las mujeres hemos sido tratadas como ciudadanas de segunda categoría, hemos sido miradas como minorías cuando representamos el 50% de la población mundial y en términos de liderazgo constantemente hemos estado subrepresentadas, lo cual hace que nuestras necesidades también pasen a segundo plano. Es por eso que en este podcast, quiero poner a las mujeres en el lugar que nos corresponde, como ciudadanos de primera.

Paulina Yazigi, President of the Chilean Association of Pension Funds and the role of pension funds in women's financial independence
In this thought-provoking episode, we have the privilege of hosting Paulina Yazigi, President of the Association of Pension Funds in Chile. Our discussion delves deep into the vital issue of pension funds and their role in fostering financial independence, particularly for women. From exploring the persistent pension gap to advocating for structural changes, we unearth potential solutions and challenges.
The conversation extends to evolving gender roles and family commitments, highlighting the heartening shift in how men are increasingly engaging in family responsibilities, even in cultures traditionally dominated by machismo. We emphasize the importance of promoting gender-neutral parenting representation to rebalance family obligations.
Our episode concludes with a personal anecdote that underscores the significance of open dialogues about women's issues in the workplace. The conversation fosters a call for more extensive discussions about diverse challenges faced by various groups to create a more inclusive and empathetic work environment.
In summary, this episode is a treasure trove of insights into pension funds and their pivotal role in advancing women's financial independence. It encourages a more inclusive and equitable future while setting the stage for a subsequent episode discussing Australian pension funds.
