Women's access to occupations with authority, influence and decision- making power

Abstract

Scrutinizes and analyses the extent to which legislators and senior government officials, and managers in private establishments in developed, transition and developing economies around the world are women. Finds that feminisation of these occupations is not positively related to a country's development level as measured by GDP per capita, i.e. that economic development and accompanying increases in education and other factors are not sufficient to significantly alter gender stereotypes.
