Abstract:
|
This research is an overview of the status quo of gender equality in firm leadership in over 30million large family and non-family firms in 103 countries on the basis of big data and algorithm-based identification. The documented perturbations of gender equality in leadership positionsacross the planet, and the implied ignorance of the principle of selecting the best leader from ajoint pool of men and women, provide a science-based affirmation that human societies need tocontinue to develop towards the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 5 “genderequality” in order to further unfold human progress and potential. From a planetary perspective,we show that leadership equality at the top management level is higher in family firms comparedto non-family firms and that there is high heterogeneity across countries.
