Gender Inequality in the Workplace remains a significant issue worldwide.

Globally, women participate in the labor force at a rate of just 47%, compared to 72% for men, highlighting a significant gap of 25 percentage points. ~International Labour Organization (ILO)

This disparity of gender inequality in the workforce hampers economic growth and limits opportunities for half of the world’s population.

Despite significant strides in many areas, women remain vastly underrepresented in leadership positions worldwide. They occupy only 32% of senior roles and hold a mere 6.2% of CEO positions in major companies. ~World Economic Forum

This disparity of gender inequality in the workforce highlights the urgent need for change and emphasizes the importance of empowering women in the workplace.

Women worldwide earn about 80% of what men earn, with the gap widening for women of color and mothers. ~UNwomen.org

Studies indicate that female employees are, on average, 14% less likely to be promoted than their male counterparts. ~MIT Sloan School of Management

The pay gap persists, with women earning $0.75-$0.86 for every dollar men earn in similar executive roles. ~World Economic Forum

On average, women take 5 years longer than men to rise from entry-level positions to management due to systemic barriers like fewer networking opportunities, caregiving responsibilities, and bias. ~World Economic Forum

Women in all industries often face gender bias and a lack of flexible work arrangements, deterring them from pursuing such roles. ~Health and Safety International

Despite significant advancements, women are fundamentally underrepresented in leadership positions across the globe. This disparity of gender inequality in the workforce calls for action and reinforces the crucial need to empower women in the workplace.
