Womenomics
Womenomics is a coined word that combines two nouns, "woman" and "economics". It is an attempt to build a new economy comparable to conventional macroeconomics by changing the branches and reconnecting them by a newly established theory and the branch is starting from women as labor and consumer.
Wind From Finland
In 90s, one finnish woman who is well known as thought leader transformed her vision to a business and she became the founder of Social Entrepreneur. The founder embodies her vision on her business which means her soul and belief are the precedent and it’s the priority on running this type of business. This is why she’s chosen to be “Social Entrepreneur”. She’s devised a management method, including cash flow etc, and she is the first pioneer of putting soul and belief into a business.
Movement in The United States
The first exposure on a term "Women-omics" was being introduced by Ms. Kathy Matsui, strategist and vice chair on Goldman Sachs. She was also one of inspired business women by thoughts leaders who make global trend and she has published it at an economic report; Buy the Female Economy. She has developed a macroeconomics comparable by collecting women in globe and she has announced it as “womenomics”.
Diversity and Inclusive
According to Glodman Sachs, the term "diversity" was neither part of the Japanese vernacular, nor a focus for the government, company managers, or society. However, Ms. Matsui said that women are still minority especially in a business and it can be considered as one of diversity though it have a half of population.

Womenomics: Write Your Own Rules for Success is a non-fiction book written by ABC News' Good Morning America senior national correspondent Claire Shipman and BBC World News America Washington correspondent Katty Kay that was published by Harper Collins on June 2, 2009.[1]
Additionally, the term "Womenomics" applies to a concept Shipman and Kay have termed for what they see as an upcoming paradigm shift in the way individuals and companies approach work, due to an increase in value of women in the workforce and changing attitudes of women towards priorities of balancing work and personal life.[2][3][4]
Summary
In Womenomics, Shipman and Kay explore the theory that trends in the current business world have allowed women to leverage their value in order to redefine success. To support this idea, the authors collect evidence showing a concurrent increase in value to companies of female management[5] and increase in priority to women of workplace flexibility.[6][7] According to the authors, the book functions both to present these findings and to provide "advice, guidance, and fact-based support that proves you don’t have to do it all to have it all."[8] Based on findings from the research done for the book, Shipman and Kay are expanding Womenomics conceptually to include a website incorporating analysis from guest bloggers and news coverage on the shifting roles of women in the workplace.[9]
