I think the best way to answer your question is to relate to you a personal experience. My daughter is 23 years old and has just graduated from university. She has a degree in biotechnology and biochemistry, and it is viewed as unusual that she has a science degree instead of a more traditional female-focused degree, which it shouldn't be. That's one aspect.
As we move forward in the world and we bring women's issues forward, I always view the opportunity to pass the baton to the next generation and to make sure that we've moved women's issues forward as absolutely critical. I am concerned at this point, given how many women have left the workforce, how so many of the jobs that have been affected are in the service industries that women have taken on, that they still aren't moving into some of these job pivots in areas affecting us and that women's issues going backwards by a generation, not forwards—which I want to be able to pass on.
As we think about pivoting, we need to help our education system, making sure that we are encouraging young women to try science, to do apprenticeships, to look at some of the opportunities in high-growth areas or different industries where they haven't traditionally looked, and how we can help people pivot to those particular industries.
At 3M Canada, we are a partner with Skills Ontario, and some of the young women who participate in Skills Ontario are a very small percentage. Our goal is how do we encourage more young women to participate and more people to get into the skills? I think that's the challenge for us, to pass the baton forward to make sure that women aren't slipping back, and also to encourage them in some of these different areas—a longer term solution. But again, as I mentioned, we need to start that now.
