The math behind:
Overview
When women gained full economic power in 1925, the flow of global wealth shifted permanently. With equal control over investment, philanthropy, and business capital, financial decisions began to reflect the priorities that women have always carried — long-term stability, community impact, and sustainability. In our timeline, women control 32% of global private wealth. In the Sheconomy timeline, that share rises to 50%, representing $81.8 trillion more under women’s direct influence. When just 25% of that wealth is actively reinvested each year, and women direct a higher percentage of their portfolios toward social and environmental good, the result is staggering: over $2 trillion more flows into social causes every single year. This isn’t charity — it’s efficiency. Because when half the world controls half the capital, progress doubles.
Women currently control about one-third of private global wealth.
Women invest 11% more of their portfolios in social-impact funds thn men.
Single women donate 1.58% of income vs. 1.13% for men — an additional $14.7B annually in philanthropic giving.
