Globally, the figure is even lower, with women predicted to reach retirement with only 74% of men&#39;s wealth levels.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;These are the findings highlighted in the newly released &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.wtwco.com/en-SG/Insights/2022/11/2022-global-gender-wealth-equity-report&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;2022 WTW Global Gender Wealth Equity report&lt;/a&gt;, which reveals a startling difference between men and women&#39;s retirement wealth accumulation around the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;The study indicates that the gender wealth gap at retirement increases with seniority. Globally, women in senior expert and leadership roles were found to have less than two-thirds (62%) of the accumulated wealth that their male counterparts enjoyed at retirement. For mid-level professional and technical roles, the gap was still substantial at 69%, but it narrowed considerably to 89% for frontline operational roles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within APAC, the findings show considerable differences in expected wealth accumulation at retirement and progress made towards gender wealth equity across the region. Across the 12 markets in the region, the gender wealth gaps range from 64% in India to 90% in South Korea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Six markets included in the analysis have a higher wealth index at retirement for women compared to the global average, and among them are China (78%), Japan (82%), Philippines (79%) and Singapore (79%).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;In APAC, the gender wealth gap is the largest in India at 64%. The study found that one of the contributing factors for this can be the significant gender pay gaps in the country, which exceed the global average, particularly for professional and technical roles. Opportunities for women in leadership positions are also limited, with only 3% of women in the workforce occupying senior positions. Women also tend to assume childcare responsibilities at a young age, resulting in financial impacts from which there is limited capacity to cover. Compounding this is the fact that long-term financial decisions generally rest with men and financial literacy for working women tends to be lower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“The results from our global analysis are startling. It shows that there is a gender wealth gap consistently across the 39 countries that we studied. The primary drivers contributing to gender-based wealth disparity include gender pay gaps and delayed career trajectories. Additionally, gaps in financial literacy and family caregiving responsibilities outside the workplace influence women’s participation in paid employment and therefore their ability to build wealth,” explained&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Manjit Basi, WTW Senior Director, Integrated &amp;amp; Global Solutions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;WTW Head of Asia Clare Muhiudeen said, “Given the variety of cultures, traditions and differences in the relative prosperity and social equality across the region, it’s unsurprising that the results are mixed. However, wealth equity for women in senior expert and leadership roles remains a particular challenge for Asia. It’s imperative that activities around gender diversity, equity and inclusion broaden to look at economic wealth at the end of women’s working careers. Pay is a fundamental factor that underlies the gender wealth gap and while addressing the gender pay gap will partially close the wealth gap, it won’t eliminate it entirely.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The study highlights that there has been an increasing focus on reversing the trend of gender discrimination through the recent environmental, social and governance (ESG) awakening. In addition, corporate efforts to further diversity, equity and inclusion have helped narrow the gender pay gap and underrepresentation of women in board and leadership roles. Yet there remains more to be done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Gender inequity in wealth accumulation is under-researched and overlooked. The reality is that the wealth inequity issue and its causes and effects are multidimensional and should be studied and addressed as such,” Basi added. “By focusing on accumulated wealth at retirement, the disparity can be quantified, and actions can be taken through broader society, government and organizations to equalize wealth outcomes.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;“This is a clear opportunity for corporations to differentiate themselves as progressive employers by taking action to support the equalization of gender wealth accumulation.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.wtwco.com/en-SG/Insights/2022/11/2022-global-gender-wealth-equity-report&quot;

According to the Children&#39;s Climate Risk Index, which was published in 2021, the Philippines ranks 31st out of the 163 countries where children are most at risk to the impact of climate change.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;&quot;Children are the least responsible for climate change, yet they bear the brunt of its impact today and will bear its brunt tomorrow,&quot; said UNICEF Philippines Deputy Representative for Programmes, Mr. Behzad Noubary.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&quot;There are 2.2 billion young people under the age of 18 worldwide. Placing children at the center of disaster management has immense potential and impact. Involving children in DRR and harnessing their ideas and actions can reduce vulnerability, build resilience, and contribute to the safety and wellbeing of their communities as well as contribute to sustainable development. The participation of children and the young brings real and necessary benefits to disaster risk reduction and resilience building policies, programs, and strategies. More importantly, it upholds their legal rights as outlined in the United Nations Convention on the rights of the Child. We an already see the impact of child-centered DRR in the Philippines through the many programs and projects that all of us here have been part of,&quot; Noubary added,&amp;nbsp;addressing the crowd at the KABATAANG SUPERHERO event.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Disasters that hit the country cost not just the livelihood but also the lives of many Filipinos. Children are most at risk as these disasters greatly affect their education, health, and their future.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The CCDRR program embodies the rights of children and the youth,&amp;nbsp;giving them opportunities to share their opinions and knowledge on how they can strengthen themselves and their communities. Their needs are also prioritized so that they can live healthy, free, and safe from any disaster.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvkWkiZbJA5HbLadUEBG--jueWmaNaNTMfEBnSiLsr4wpazvslItGKY1dRdYXL5_0GW4jY10k0TuQX-8XIy1GGksV9tZpGej8tlYOh2etk4se1JskLcx5fhhj-O7w9jLK5Gf2YRYC0ZePIOlwoGZHRfZymtPrG_HhPSqkZKrYAMHlBJ8-BT2-NtR1yVA/s2551/IMG_2369.jpg.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1701&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2551&quot; height=&quot;426&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvkWkiZbJA5HbLadUEBG--jueWmaNaNTMfEBnSiLsr4wpazvslItGKY1dRdYXL5_0GW4jY10k0TuQX-8XIy1GGksV9tZpGej8tlYOh2etk4se1JskLcx5fhhj-O7w9jLK5Gf2YRYC0ZePIOlwoGZHRfZymtPrG_HhPSqkZKrYAMHlBJ8-BT2-NtR1yVA/w640-h426/IMG_2369.jpg.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Climate change remains to be a technical term and a complex topic to discuss, especially with ordinary people. &quot;In the Philippines, when we talk about climate change, all we know is &#39;&lt;i&gt;bagyo&lt;/i&gt;&#39;. That&#39;s the challenge for advocates and for science communicators. We have to discuss climate change in a way that is understandable to the people; they should be able to connect to the topic,&quot; said Marlon Matuguina of Save the Children Philippines.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&quot;During disasters, learning is oftentimes disrupted, which leads to short-term and long-term impact on children in our society. Children&#39;s rights to basic, quality education is dependent upon their right to safety and survival. There should be a good balance of quality education and ensuring that the children are safe, and that there&#39;s also continuity in learning.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&quot;It&#39;s important that we get the message across to the children. Adults should be supportive and ensure that they give an enabling environment for the children to be heard and for them to participate [in child-centered risk reduction practices],&quot; Matuguina added.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;The KABATAANG SUPERHERO event proved to be a memorable and enlightening experience for the youth delegates. They were able to express themselves, share their opinions on how they can help make a difference, as the future generation of leaders, in fostering the rights of every child to survive, learn, and be protected. Through this UNICEF initiative, the young Filipino participants were able to discover their inner heroes in advocating and shaping a better future for all.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/2468335589161438424/posts/default/1801848433815245984'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/2468335589161438424/posts/default/1801848433815245984'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.themeridianpost.com/2022/07/unicef-kabataang-superhero.html' title='How to be a Kabataang Superhero: UNICEF, OCD empower Filipino youth in disaster risk management'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj25HTrP2ZPBEjI5ifTgmABDPt-iaswUqIP4eePyWSLMHc34mxm4n6rlGkfbRYtMu4RFp7h8MB_SLDx_tY1HxFmjWjj_-BnlA0lf7ahnQl92utVr_jY_kHPDnKz-KhikZBPxyCRRSmVSx8R4DDVlErSjJFZu_8SfcwjgMa5q818Bm8Kj7x6r85Xvsco3Q/s72-w640-h426-c/IMG_2471.png" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2468335589161438424.post-4502529016286738629</id><published>2022-06-27T13:35:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2022-06-27T17:58:42.190+08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="gaming"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Tech"/><title type='text'>Tower of Fantasy Hits PC and Mobile Platforms Globally, Pre-Registration Now Live</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCc2y3QxvN8IdFyC6N7o_1lrkc09N4GKojyHJFpzBi5l_fW75aVWvnbEY6RLfE00VmuuzubMk35r4nezd6X1F-rJqRbSxF51qdKL9JApMHQOj72uaAXZ0qtQqvIRANnFgH4Z1InY0miCoJ7O8ZuKKptSItlOpamJqNONlC08lC2rA0ttKxS6u10x-K/s1920/Gameplay1logo.png&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1080&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;360&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCc2y3QxvN8IdFyC6N7o_1lrkc09N4GKojyHJFpzBi5l_fW75aVWvnbEY6RLfE00VmuuzubMk35r4nezd6X1F-rJqRbSxF51qdKL9JApMHQOj72uaAXZ0qtQqvIRANnFgH4Z1InY0miCoJ7O8ZuKKptSItlOpamJqNONlC08lC2rA0ttKxS6u10x-K/w640-h360/Gameplay1logo.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gamers around the world have an exciting launch to look forward to this quarter as &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.toweroffantasy-global.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Tower of Fantasy&lt;/a&gt;, the hit shared open-world RPG from publisher Level Infinite and developer Hotta Studio, will soon be coming to global PC and mobile platforms in Q3 of 2022.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Supporting eight languages (English, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Thai, and Indonesian), &lt;b&gt;Tower of Fantasy&lt;/b&gt; is now open for pre-registration.

Here&#39;s a run down of what Dr. Puzon identified as necessary medical tests that every couple should undergo before tying the knot:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;KNOW YOUR GENERAL HEALTH AND FAMILY HISTORY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&quot;Diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, cancer screenings, and other pre-existing health conditions can be detected through routine blood tests and medical examinations. The sooner you know the current status of your blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels, the sooner you can address them with medications and lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and eating a balanced diet,&quot; Dr. Puzon explained.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;RULE OUT HIV AND STD&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Dr. Puzon also stressed the importance of getting tested for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases regardless of whether or not one or both partners have had previous sexual relationships. Some STDs can be asymptomatic and doctors can help detect them and recommend treatment as early as possible.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&quot;Having an STD could affect your fertility and the health of any of your future children, too. You would want to avoid the risk of transmitting STDs to your partner.&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;DETERMINE YOUR FERTILITY STATUS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Many couples find themselves struggling to conceive for years after their marriage. According to Dr. Puzon, a seminal analysis pelvic ultrasound scan, and other types of fertility tests can offer an honest picture of the state of a couple&#39;s reproductive organs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&quot;When you get the results, you and your partner can plan ahead and turn to necessary referral and treatment to overcome potential challenges once you decide to start a family,&quot; she added.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;CHECK YOUR MENTAL HEALTH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;According to Dr. Puzon, couples need to understand that some mental health conditions can lead to domestic violence and can even be passed on to their children. &quot;It is important for future spouses to undergo psychological tests to know the complete picture [of their mental health] before tying the knot. Mental health exams can help determine conditions such as schizophrenia, depression, mood disorders, mania, and other behavioral and personality disorders,&quot; she shared.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&quot;If you or your partner is diagnosed with a potential mental health condition, do know that there are experts who can guide you in navigating the situation effectively, so both of you can move forward with your plans in the healthiest way possible.&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;See? Love is not enough to give your relationship that happy-ever-after fairytale ending. Love means doing everything possible to maintain a healthy relationship -- and that involves keeping you and your partner healthy as well. Going for a medical checkup can help you understand your own bodies and overall wellbeing so that you can both undertake necessary measures to become better partners to each other.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&quot;With favorable results, you can breathe a sigh of relief and go on with your lives.
