More women in top positions in eastern Germany

Abstract

"Only 25 percent of women reach top management positions in the private sector in Germany. Nothing much has changed in the 10 years during which the development has been monitored by the IAB-Establishment Panel. The only exception is a notable increase in the proportion of women in middle management. Although more women hold positions there, they still do not reach a proportion that reflects their share of the workforce." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
