Worldwide Women Public Sector Leaders Network
In only 4 countries across the G20, do women occupy even a third of the public sector leadership roles.
Our research shows that despite women constituting a significant part of the overall public sector workforce in many countries, they remain woefully under-represented at the top table.
Women are 51% of the population. But even in Canada, the country ranked number one in the 'Worldwide Index of Women as Public Sector Leaders' that measures gender representation across the leadership of the G20 countries’ public sectors, they account for only 45% of its public sector leaders.
No other country comes close to this figure, with the numbers of female leaders in the following six countries in the Index hovering at around a third.
