Women’s involvement in societal structures such as businesses, market segments, economies
These studies track the number of women – usually as a percentage – at various levels of participation in business, government and other organizations. Because many Impact studies show correlation between women in leadership, as measured by board membership and senior executive roles, there is an emphasis in participation studies on these categories. We endeavor to find as many participation metrics as we can and will list them here.
