GENEVA, Nov 4 — The number of women in top leadership jobs at companies worldwide has risen since 2013, but inequalities remain at lower managerial levels, the International Labour Organization said Tuesday.
The share of companies with a female board chair surged from 13.1 per cent in 2013 to 30.9 per cent last year, the United Nations agency said in a report.
The share with a woman chief executive rose from 23.4 per cent to 28.2 per cent in the same period.
But the report found women remain under-represented in the corporate hierarchy overall, holding just 30.5 per cent of managerial positions globally — up from 24.5 per cent in 2000.
