Women remain underrepresented in corporate leadership. While women earn 57% of college degrees, they hold only 20% of senior roles. They face challenges including unequal pay, lack of support from managers, carrying a larger burden of household work, and perceiving their gender as a disadvantage. However, companies that focus on accountability, flexible work policies, and fair hiring/promotions see faster progress getting more women into management and leadership. Individual actions like calling out bias, sponsoring women, and changing biased language can also help close the gender gap.
