Organizations that prioritize gender diversity-including women in executive roles-tend to outperform their less diverse counterparts, making gender parity not just a fairness issue, but a strategic business imperative.
Currently, only 6% of CEOs worldwide are women, and 23.3% of corporate board seats are held by women, showcasing a significant global disparity and revealing the long journey still ahead toward gender parity.
The U.S. holds 28.1% of board seats occupied by women, lagging behind countries like France, Norway, and Italy while outpacing others like China and India, reflecting the inconsistent progress across different regions.
If we continue on our current trajectory, the gender disparity in corporate leadership roles will not be closed until approximately 2038, with significant delays anticipated for chairs and CEOs beyond that.
