Abstract

This chapter aims to analyse gender diversity in the insurance sector. It consists of three sections. The first section presents the main evidence from the existing studies and research conducted so far only on insurance companies. The second section reports some data on the current presence of women in the workforce of these financial institutions including managerial and top positions. Finally, the third section highlights the progress that this sector is making towards greater gender equality by presenting three leading insurance companies in the European market (Axa, Zurich Insurance, and Assicurazioni Generali) that are particularly attentive to advancing gender diversity.
