Despite their economic and social advantages, 'children of affluence' experience among the highest rates of depression, substance abuse, anxiety disorders, somatic complaints, and unhappiness of any group of children…twenty-two percent of adolescent girls from financially comfortable families suffer from clinical depression.

The discussion also dives into the broader implications of data ownership, including its potential to drive decentralization and democratization. McCaig also reflects on some of society's pressing issues such as homelessness and mental health. He raises the question – if we can allocate trillions for bank bailouts, why not divert resources to tackle mental health issues? Reflecting on his own experiences living in an urban area witnessing increasing vagrancy and apparent mental illness, McCaig stresses the importance of proactive data gathering as an approach to preemptively addressing these problems before they become unmanageable.

I realized something had to change in my life. Once I started opening up to people about my experience, I realized that I wasn’t alone. Today, only 8% of Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) 100 companies have women CEOs, just 10% of women have a stocks and shares Individual Savings Account (ISA), and only 43% of women are correctly diagnosed by the healthcare system. The more we can educate, engage, and empower women and girls in these areas, the more likely we are to create a future where nobody has to live in pain and silence or sacrifice their career and well-being—period.” - Rebekah Lloyd, founder of This Independent Life Check out #Spiffy's latest Nasdaq interview with an inspiring social entrepreneur!
