Finance and Economy: Qian Liu

“I like women’s issues, and I have witnessed and experienced many stories that are more dramatic than [a] drama script. I hope to focus more on education, employment and gender issues from the perspective of economics. Gender equality is not only beneficial to women, but also to men. It is important to our next generation, economic growth and social development. I look forward to participating in WOW where we can discuss these issues and make progress together, in an in-depth and mutually respectful way."

Qian Liu is a Doctor of Economics, President of the Economist Group in Greater China, and a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum. As an outstanding advocate of gender equality in China, Liu took the lead in introducing global cutting-edge gender economics research, and founded the G8 Forum of Global Eight Ambassadors (Madams), TED x Women and other activities.
