A survey of 7,200 companies in 32 countries has found that 38% of businesses do not have any women in senior management, a figure which has remained unchanged since 2004, according to Grant Thornton International, which carried out the research.
The Philippines had the highest percentage of companies with women in senior management roles (98%) while Japan had the lowest with only 25%. Four out of five countries with the lowest figures are in Europe: the Netherlands (27%), Luxembourg (37%), Germany (41%) and Italy (42%).
Over half of all European businesses surveyed have women participating in senior management (52%), while 68% of companies in the North American Free Trade Area (US, Canada and Mexico) have females in senior roles. Within these regions European companies had 4% more women in senior management whereas NAFTA countries had 6% more compared with 2004.
