The Gender Agenda

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Pink is for girls and blue is for boys. Or is it? Manuela Saragosa explores the impact a more gender fluid world is having on business. Jamie Gutfreund, head of marketing at Wunderman, tells us why Generation Z are moving away from a binary view of gender and how big brands are adapting accordingly. Mother of two boys Kristen Johnson, was dismayed when she couldn't find a male doll for her children to play with so she set up a company to fill the gap in the market. She tells us her story and why a simple child's toy proved so controversial. Also on the programme, Maddy Savage visits a gender neutral school in Sweden.
