For example, during her shows in Stockholm, Swedish economists <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/business-65908054\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blamed her for artificially inflating consumer prices <\/a>. In the U.S., members of the \u201cBeyhive\u201d swarmed the cities in which she toured and <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2023\/07\/19\/beyonce-renaissance-tour-economic-impact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">provided a boost to area businesses <\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Fortune magazine, Yelp searches for &#8220;nail technicians&#8221; tripled compared to the same period in 2022\u2014that\u2019s in addition to searches for local lounges and eateries (up 160 percent) near the shows\u2019 stadiums.<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the time the tour came to an end, it generated an estimated US$4.5 billion for the American economy\u2014nearly as much as the 2008 Olympics did for Beijing, according to <em>The New York Times<\/em>.<sup>2<\/sup> &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-taylor-swift-effect\">The Taylor Swift effect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The singer&#8217;s 53-date Eras Tour generated an eye-popping US$1.04 billion in gross ticket sales\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/news.pollstar.com\/2023\/12\/11\/taylor-swifts-1b-year-u2-sphere-a-new-golden-age-pollstars-2023-year-end-hub\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the first tour to ever hit the billion-dollar milestone <\/a>, according to the live-music trade Pollstar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swift&#8217;s potential earnings from the tour in 2023 is expected to be north of US$4 billion\u2014the most any artist has ever made from a single tour.

Globally, more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankrate.com\/loans\/personal-loans\/purchasing-power-of-women-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">80 percent of purchase decisions are made by women <\/a>, and they contribute close to 40 percent of global gross domestic product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-growing-into-their-economic-power\"><strong>Growing into their economic power<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All of this is occurring against the backdrop of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-ca\/insights\/women-are-the-predominant-benefactor-in-the-great-wealth-transfer-what-comes-next\">the great wealth transfer<\/a>\u2014a seismic change in wealth ownership from men to women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A McKinsey &amp; Company study released in 2020 found that women in the U.S. are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/industries\/financial-services\/our-insights\/women-as-the-next-wave-of-growth-in-us-wealth-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">set to control an unprecedented US$30 trillion in assets <\/a> by the end of the decade, calling it a \u201cpotential wealth transfer of such magnitude that it approaches the annual GDP of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In comparison, it is estimated that by 2028, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investmentexecutive.com\/news\/research-and-markets\/canadian-women-to-control-nearly-4-trillion-by-2028\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">women in Canada will control C$4 trillion in assets <\/a>\u2014almost doubling the $2.2 trillion they control today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This transfer of wealth to women is driven predominantly by demographics: as male baby boomers die, they tend to bequeath their assets to their wives, who are typically younger and tend to live longer (<a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamainternalmedicine\/article-abstract\/2811338\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">six years, on average <\/a>, according to research published in <em>JAMA Internal Medicine<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, we&#8217;re seeing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/featured-insights\/diversity-and-inclusion\/women-in-the-workplace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trends showing that women are generating more wealth <\/a> through increased participation in the workforce and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Canada, <a href=\"https:\/\/www150.statcan.gc.ca\/n1\/pub\/12-581-x\/2022001\/sec7-eng.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">women are amongst the most educated in the world <\/a>, according to a 2022 Statistics Canada report, citing more than two-thirds (68 percent) of women aged 25-64 years with a college or university qualification in 2021, compared with an average of 44 percent among women in countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Pew Research Center analysis of government data, women in the U.S. now account for more than half of the college-educated labour force, having first made that leap in the last half of 2019.<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ramifications of women ultimately taking bigger strides into their economic power are profound and far-reaching. Since women exercise their spending power in different ways, compared with their male counterparts, a shift of this magnitude has the potential to influence discretionary spending (e.g., retail, travel), health-care systems and services, and investing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-gender-pay-gap-is-still-a-reality\">The gender pay gap is still a reality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the transfer of unprecedented levels of wealth to women represents a meaningful opportunity for some of them to focus on investing, it&#8217;s important to note that, in general, most women still contend with the gender pay gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2022, American women earned on average 82 cents for every dollar earned by men, according to the Pew Research Center.<sup>4<\/sup> In Canada, women are fairing slightly better, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/politics\/pay-equity-legislation-1.6097263\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">earning 89 cents <\/a> for every dollar earned by men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That gap widens significantly for racialized women, Indigenous women and women with disabilities.<sup>5<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stakes are further raised for women who assume caregiving roles, as they are typically forced to take a break in their career, which translates into lost income and savings. In 2022, more than 50 percent of women over age 15 provided some form of care to children or adults, and they were significantly more likely than men to provide care, according to Statistics Canada.<sup>6<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, their approach to investing is likely to reflect their current financial realities and take into consideration not only wealth, but health, lifestyle and legacy. According to the same McKinsey report, 70 percent of women who inherit wealth are likely to switch to a new financial advisor. This&nbsp;suggests that they are likely looking for someone with a deeper understanding of their objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The increasing shift in economic power from men to women, coupled with an informed and holistic view of their investment goals, will help ensure women\u2019s financial growth and stability for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-footnote\">Sources:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-footnote\"><sup>1<\/sup> Shin, Rachel. \u201cYelp Coins the \u2018Beyonc\u00e9 Bump\u2019 for the Economic Halo Created by the Pop Star\u2019s Renaissance Tour.\u201d <em>Fortune,<\/em> 19 July 2023, <a href=\"http:\/\/fortune.com\/2023\/07\/19\/beyonce-renaissance-tour-economic-impact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fortune.com\/2023\/07\/19\/beyonce-renaissance-tour-economic-impact\/ <\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-footnote\"><sup>2<\/sup> Wortham, Jenna. \u201cA Silvery, Shimmering Summer of Beyonc\u00e9.\u201d <em>The New York Times<\/em>, 27 Sept. 2023, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/09\/27\/magazine\/beyonce-renaissance-tour.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.nytimes.com\/2023\/09\/27\/magazine\/beyonce-renaissance-tour.html <\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-footnote\"><sup>3<\/sup> Schaeffer, Katherine. \u201cFor Women\u2019s History Month, a look at gender gains \u2013 and gaps \u2013 in the U.S.\u201d <em>Pew Research Center<\/em>, 27 Sept. 2024, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/short-reads\/2024\/02\/27\/for-womens-history-month-a-look-at-gender-gains-and-gaps-in-the-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/short-reads\/2024\/02\/27\/for-womens-history-month-a-look-at-gender-gains-and-gaps-in-the-us\/ <\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-footnote\"><sup>4 <\/sup>Kochhar, Rakesh. \u201cThe Enduring Grip of the Gender Pay Gap.\u201d <em>Pew Research Center<\/em>, 1 Mar. 2023, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/social-trends\/2023\/03\/01\/the-enduring-grip-of-the-gender-pay-gap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/social-trends\/2023\/03\/01\/the-enduring-grip-of-the-gender-pay-gap\/ <\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-footnote\"><sup>5<\/sup> \u201cThe Gender Pay Gap: Pay Gap in Canada: The Facts.\u201d <em>Canadian Women\u2019s Foundation<\/em>, 23 Dec. 2022, <a href=\"http:\/\/canadianwomen.org\/the-facts\/the-gender-pay-gap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">canadianwomen.org\/the-facts\/the-gender-pay-gap\/ <\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-footnote\"><sup>6<\/sup> \u201cMore than Half of Women Provide Care to Children and Care-Dependent Adults in Canada, 2022.\u201d <em>Statistics Canada<\/em>, 8 Nov. 2022, <a href=\"http:\/\/www150.statcan.gc.ca\/n1\/daily-quotidien\/221108\/dq221108b-eng.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www150.statcan.gc.ca\/n1\/daily-quotidien\/221108\/dq221108b-eng.htm <\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although inroads have been made, women still experience a significant gender wage gap across the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":22472,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rbcwm_post_date":"","editor_notices":[],"rbc_url_alias":"","rbcwm_featured_desktop_image_position":"","rbcwm_featured_mobile_image_position":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[264,10],"tags":[658,481,272],"rbcwm_content_owner":[],"rbcwm_need":[],"rbcwm_segment":[75,66,90],"rbcwm_solution":[82],"rbcwm_topic":[65,94],"rbcwm_channel":[],"rbcwm_format":[],"class_list":["post-22469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-market-trends","category-wealth-planning","tag-u-s-economy","tag-women-and-wealth-planning","tag-women-in-business","rbcwm_segment-business-owners-and-entrepreneurs","rbcwm_segment-individuals-and-families","rbcwm_segment-institutions","rbcwm_solution-wealth-planning","rbcwm_topic-education","rbcwm_topic-your-wealth"],"acf":{"rbcwm_subtitle":"Although inroads have been made, women still experience a significant gender wage gap across the world.","rbcwm_post_author":"","rbcwm_custom_breadcrumb_text":"","rbcwm_custom_breadcrumb_link_url":"","rbcwm_disclaimers":{"add_disclosures":"","perspective_disclaimer":"","expandable":"","omit_from_pages":[],"disclaimer_footnote":"This document has been prepared for use by the RBC Wealth Management member companies, RBC Dominion Securities Inc.*, RBC Phillips, Hager &amp; North Investment Counsel Inc., RBC Global Asset Management Inc., Royal Trust Corporation of Canada and The Royal Trust Company (collectively, the \u201cCompanies\u201d) and their affiliate, Royal Mutual Funds Inc.
