Thriving Workforce

2015 Global When Women Thrive Report

Summary

The most comprehensive and predictive research on women in the workforce, we’ve added 13 countries since our initial 2014 report, covering nearly 600 organizations with 3.2 million employees, including 1.3 million women.

Research findings include:

Only 60-70% of the female population participates actively in the workforce
Women are under-represented at all levels, making up just 20 percent of executives according to this report
Their representation declines precipitously as career levels rise – in other words: more women in staff or administrative roles and far fewer in senior or executive positions.
Latin America is the only region on track to achieve gender parity at the professional level and above by 2025.
Organizations in Asia are hiring more women at the top, but are promoting women at lower rates than men.
A region-by-region look at top trends and opportunities
