The Effects of AI on the Working Lives of Women

Artificial intelligence (Al) is “a machine-based system that can, for a given set of humandefined objectives, make predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments. Al systems are designed to operate with varying levels of autonomy/’ (OECD, 2020). Al is rapidly being integrated into both workplace and domestic settings.

Relational intelligence: the power of strengthening bonds and generating commitment

Relational intelligence: the power of strengthening bonds and generating commitment

In a world that is increasingly connected, but paradoxically more distant, relational intelligence is presented as a key tool to strengthen our relationships and meet the challenges of engagement. This capacity not only improves personal dynamics, but also enriches our professional and community life, generating deeper and more meaningful connections.

Necesitamos un cambio cultural para los cuidadores, no sólo mejores políticas

Necesitamos un cambio cultural para los cuidadores, no sólo mejores políticas

¿Qué te viene a la mente cuando oyes el término “ama de casa”? Aunque algunos piensen en dedicación y valores familiares, en nuestra cultura hay muchas ideas negativas sobre las mujeres que dedican su tiempo a cuidar de sus hijos y de su hogar. Inculta, aburrida y poco ambiciosa son algunas, y más recientemente, el término “tradwife”. Aunque esta palabra describe técnicamente a las mujeres que promueven un estilo de vida “tradicional” en las redes sociales, “tradwife” se ha convertido en la práctica en una etiqueta despectiva utilizada ampliamente para cualquier mujer que se dedique a tiempo completo a las tareas del hogar. Un libro publicado a principios de este mes, The Power Pause: How to Plan a Career Break After Kids-and Come Back Stronger Than Ever, de Neha Ruch, aborda directamente esta dinámica. Desafía los tópicos de una madre “en casa” y explora el pensamiento simplista que persiste obstinadamente en torno a la maternidad y la carrera profesional.

We Need Cultural Change for Caregivers, Not Just Better Policy

What comes to mind when you hear the term “stay-at-home mom”? Though some may think of dedication and family values, there are many negative ideas in our culture about women who spend their time caring for their children and home. Uneducated, boring, and not ambitious are a few, and more recently, the term “tradwife”. Though this word technically describes women promoting a “traditional” lifestyle on social media, “tradwife” has become—in practice—a disparaging label broadly used for any woman engaged in full-time homemaking.

A book released earlier this month, The Power Pause: How to Plan a Career Break After Kids—and Come Back Stronger Than Ever by Neha Ruch, addresses these dynamics head on. It challenges the clichés of a mother “at home” and explores the simplistic thinking that stubbornly persists around motherhood and career.

A full life: reflections for integrating life

A full life: reflections for integrating life

We all aspire to live a full, successful and balanced life. However, on many occasions we feel disoriented and confused about what decision to make in an increasingly uncertain and complex environment, we do not know what attitude to take or the certainties we had are blurred. Three books approach this subject from complementary perspectives, connected by a clear common thread: the aspiration to integrate life in all its dimensions. Each work offers a unique vision, forming an itinerary of reflection and practice that guides the reader in his or her search for a successful and fulfilled life.
