Contributions to the debate around women’s rights and opportunities, especially in the workplace, have been ramping up over the past week. Here are a few of the most local and notable.
European Roundtable of Industrialists: Roundtable reps tell me the average share of women in leadership positions in their member companies has increased, but only by around 1% over the last year. BMW has beaten their 2020 workforce target already (they sought a comparatively low 17 percent share of female employees in this male-dominated sector, and have hit 18 percent.)
World Economic Forum: Women get exploited because domestic workers, who are nearly all women, have some of the fewest protections in the world.
Amnesty: 1 out of every 3 women alive today was married before she was 15.
European Commission: gender pay gap is closing; still 16 percent. The gap is less than 5 percent in Slovenia and Malta bit more than 20 percent in Estonia, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany and Slovakia.
