Gender Inequality in the Corporate Workplace

A McKinsey & Company report reveals that the ratio of women working in corporations is still lower than that of men. This condition applies to all job levels, from entry-level positions to executive managers (C-Suite). The higher the position, the smaller the proportion of women occupying it.

By early 2020, 47% of women held entry-level positions. Meanwhile, 38% held managerial positions. Only 22% of women were appointed as executive managers, the lowest percentage across all job levels.

Although the proportion of female workers remains lower than that of men, it increased between 2015 and 2020. The highest increase occurred in executive management positions, reaching 22%.

The McKinsey & Company research is based on data from 317 companies in the United States and Canada. Private, public, and social companies from various sectors participated in this research.
