Technology. Australian women world's most economically advanced, finds study. Sydney, Oct. 16 (ANI): Australian women are the most economically empowered across the world, a new study has found.
The study by international consulting and management firm Booz and Company found that Australian women are the world’s most economically advanced in terms of access to education, market participation and anti-discrimination policies. Despite Australia still failing to pay women salaries equal to men, the survey found it topped a list of 128 countries in allowing women to play a role as economic agents in their social and political systems. The study found that Australia was followed by three Scandinavian countries – Norway, Sweden and Finland – and New Zealand was fifth, the Sydney Morning Herald reports. The study found that Yemen, Pakistan and Sudan were at the bottom of the list.

LinkedIn is considered the non-sexy, sleeping giant of social networks. It keeps a low profile, perhaps due to the professional nature of its users. Nonetheless, LinkedIn continues to exert a powerful influence on connected job seekers, brands, recruiters and industries. Founded by Reid Hoffman in 2002, LinkedIn has grown to 225 million members in over 200 countries, making it the world’s largest professional network on the Internet (by comparison, Twitter has more than 500 million registered users, and Facebook has surpassed one billion). Currently available in 20 languages, LinkedIn remains a relevant platform the world over. That being said, we doubt you spend 20 minutes on LinkedIn per day, like Facebook’s power users do.
