Women across developed and emerging economies believe their roles are changing for the better, driven by factors like better access to education and career opportunities. However, a plateau of hope is emerging among women in developed countries, with nearly half believing their daughters will have the same opportunities rather than more. Additionally, while empowerment is increasing for women globally, so too are stress levels, felt even more intensely by women in emerging markets who juggle responsibilities while having little spare income. Ultimately, women want shared decision-making with men on important life choices rather than shouldering the majority of the burden alone.
