What does lack of diversity have to do with economic growth?
- AJ007 11y agoThe suspicion is that diversity of ideas and experiences allow groups to more easily evolve and solve problems. Even in a room full of males, if some come from different industries, they may more easily be able to pull together best practices each other had never heard of. Does this also apply to age, gender, ethnic, and cultural background? May be it doesn't. At the least I believe that this gives the US a huge advantage in attracting talent because the best from around the world can feel more at home here. This needs to be observed through long term economic endurance rather than measurements of shorter term investment-driven growth like China, Japan, or Brazil experienced.
