      I have to admit, I really didn’t expect Denmark and Netherlands down there

      I would be curious to hear from any Dutch Redditors about their thoughts on this – cultural explanations, etc.

      One of the more positive legacies of the socialist regimes is that they had to, at least on paper, provide equal opportunity to both females and males. You could argue about the party hierarchy if it was successful but at least on workplace level it did stick. Not only, but wage gaps between genders wasn’t really an issue and there were some of the most generous social benefits for maternity leave, etc… legacies that even now still exist

      At least that’s how I explain to myself Eastern Europe’s numbers

      What defines a firm? 
      Like is a single person who’s self employed considered in a top position? 

    11. sneakyjedi123 on

      Really happy that smaller countries like Latvia, Cyprus, Croatia and Slovenia are leading here

      Does it cover all firms, or only these from top X, or hiring more than X people?

      Because if all, local laws and situation might influence this data heavily. E.g. here in Poland, there’s a lot of so-called „JDG“ (one-person economic activity) firms, which generally cover mostly male-related jobs.

      Because the % of women top roles is the most important metric for the success of a company right? Looking at this graph it looks like it may even have negative correlation 😂

      With a risk of being really misunderstood, I’ll still ask: why is this only important for good (leadership) positions but doesn’t matter for regular workers?

      When the GDR was incorporated into germany, a lot of studied women were treated like nobodies.

      I am always reminded by one story. A friend of my grandmother was a female mathematician. She worked in cybernetic analysis in the LPG. They had a newer program than, trying to be more ecological. Calculating the minimal use of pesticides and fertilizer over grop rotation for the next 5 years.

      After the wall fell, she lost her job. And had to hustle for a while. So she tried working in ensurance.

      Her west german trainer brought preschool plastic toy cash machines to the first 3 training weeks.

      They had to train on that machine „how capitalism works.“ With play buying stuff, selling and basic grammar school accounting.

      The reason East german women can’t hold equal qualifications, they must be told how to understand the world. I later learned that there are thousands of stories like that.

      East Germany had parity in stem.

      Whats going on here. Is this tracking 50/50 women to men. Or as a percentage of employees or a percentage of industry.

      My work has 1 of 2 people at the top a women but theres only one other women in the company of 45. I know this tracks only big ciros but how would that rank. And the position she is in is in a feild thats heavily dominated by men.

    21. Sekhen on

      At my work, women are the majority.

      Documentation platform in the aviation industry.

    22. Hot_Preparation4777 on

      Positions of wealth and power. Corporate CEO’s , government positions etc etc. Most women don’t want to do the hard jobs in society and want „equality“ mostly in cushy desk jobs.

      Can we see the jobs reports on plumbers, roofers, construction workers, concrete pourers and brick layers?

      Not a peep about the lack of women in these often times dangerous physical labor jobs.

      The beautiful thing is that the Netherlands progressed so far ahead that the real luxury has become a (semi)traditional household with happy children, happy family members.

      Look at those beautiful stats 🥰

    24. SandVir on

      Change is needed. That’s the Truth

      But

      Overcompensation for other age groups Is great for young women, unfortunately not for young men.

    25. raedditbetternot on

      The more women in leadership roles, the poorer the country it seems here if someone would compile a regression analysis.

    26. HalfHorseHalfMann on

      So rich countries are ruled by men.
      Check.

      (Not you Italy….go away).

    27. Ranter619 on

      This doesn’t look too good though in the grand scheme of things. I see a lot more economically successful countries at the bottom.

    28. valdemarolaf88 on

      Why 50/50 a sign of anything on its own? Quite arbitrary

      Also consider other metrics, like incarceration or suicide. Females get disproportionately lower sentences.

    30. g_spaitz on

      Look, look, see right there? Where a very civilized society, we’re not last! /s and crying.

    31. That_Bus_6994 on

      Are we rebuilding soviet union or what. These graphs make no sense. Whoever has better competence shouls get the job. As simple as that

    32. First-Egg-713 on

      And how much of this is actually by merit? Lol..

      “ Europe has implemented mandatory gender quotas for corporate boards, requiring large listed companies to have at least 40%” 

      DEI quotas

    33. madhatterlock on

      Are we really still focused on this? Fire some people to „fix“ the ratio based on some absurd progressive view, or have we progressed enough that its ok that both parents don’t need to work if possible and that it might actually be better for the kids.

    34. Nazhmutdin2003 on

      Hmm, interesting.
      The most developed European countries have the lowest rate🤷

    35. ComfortableMenu8468 on

      Kinda transphobe to only look at the male/female ratio when there is plenty of other genders.

    36. Convoke_ on

      The only thing that really matters is equal opportunities*. These numbers are interesting but quite meaningless on their own

      *equal opportunities where it makes sense and within reason

      Lack of women in higher positions is very obvious in Germany, none of the 4 German companies I worked at had a single woman at C-level table. Very embarrassing for Germany, but I don’t think they even care. Sweden is very impressively quiet the opposite in my experience.

    40. peachdog3k on

      In Germany it is not well seen that a woman has a career. At a certain point they should stay home raising the kids. That might explain the inequality, since the male counterpart will have more experience. Also, men who want to raise kids and become stay-at-home dads are looked at with distrust.

      Slovenia is doing so great! Why are they so far ahead of their neighbours?
