Women's growing economic power to scale the ownership economy
This webinar is part of Ownership Capital Lab’s speaker series celebrating the release of our newest white paper, The Silver Tsunami, the Great Wealth Transfer and the future of employee ownership in the United States: Leveraging generational changes and shifting economics to scale a powerful model of shared prosperity (March, 2025).
With $54 trillion forecasted to transfer to women by 2048 as part of the Great Wealth Transfer, women investors will become an even more influential driver of economic growth, positioning them as key partners in scaling employee ownership. Given that women tend to invest with a stronger focus on social impact than their male counterparts, this could unlock billions in additional capital for values-aligned investments, such as employee ownership.
There is an unprecedented opportunity in the U.S. today to scale employee ownership—a shared ownership structure where employees own part or all of a business. With the “silver tsunami” of baby boomer retirements on the horizon, roughly 3 million businesses—employing 1 in 5 private sector workers—are expected to change hands. The challenge lies in securing the capital needed to support these ownership transitions.
Women investors could fill this gap, directing billions of dollars toward values-driven investments, like employee ownership.
