Women become tomorrow's economic winners!

About a generation, the economic balance of power in society tipping, believes consumer economist Ann Lehmann Erichsen, Nordea. Women sit for a long time on most economic decisions at home, and now is moving women to a greater extent than before into investing and have control over their own economy.
Eventually, the economic balance of power, as we know it, change fundamentally. It believes consumer economist at Nordea, Ann Lehmann Erichsen. She added the use of experts and future researcher Eva Steensig, owner of consultancy Lighthouse CPH:
- Women are good investors and there are more and more decidedly affluent women. As the young women gain the higher level training, it will get the balance between men's and women's power over the private economy to change, she believes.
Ann Lehmann Erichsen estimates that the balance will tilt in just over a generation.
Women sit on American Fortunes
International estimates indicate that next year - in 2010 - will be 50% of all American wealth to be at the hands of women. The same image appears in England, and there is every reason to believe it also will apply to Denmark, think Eva Steensig.
- More and more women are at home training very well and earn money. Meanwhile, women's struggle meant that women today are free to practice their ambitions, and it will mean that they also take the economy into their own hands.
Women are clever, calm investors
That women also have a strong stomach, what about investments means that they are better investors than men, studies show.
Women is not so much with their shares as men do, and they're more humble. They do not think they can beat the market and do it better than the market does. Det tror mange mænd, siger Ann Lehmann Erichsen. I think many men, says Ann Lehmann Erichsen.
Pension - and interest - is lagging
Each time a man will pay 100 dollars on her retirement to pay a woman only 79 pounds. The difference is partly to wage differentials between the sexes, partly on tax and not least of interest, said Ann Lehmann Erichsen.
- Some of the gap is because women still have lower wages than men, and anything is because up until now has been able to reap a tax rebate by paying much, as men increasingly have been able to. But the main reason that women's pensions lagged behind men's, women's very low interest in pension issues. So, women simply have an interest in their retirement, not least in line with that given the economic opportunities to create a good economy - also in the latter part of life.
Men will awake
Women's economic drew largely due to the fact that women have trained more than men, partly because the unskilled female jobs typically gives a low salary, you can not live on or use to become economically independent of man.
- Women have always had reason to be forced to educate themselves and get the men to feel the coming years. Women are adept at managing their own economy, more and more are doing really well, and the men will come to be lagging behind in economic security, believes Ann Lehmann Erichsen, and Eva Steensig supplements:
- There are really some Danish men, who must wake up now. Otherwise, running the women of the place without them.
