According to a World Bank survey, in our country only
9.5% of small businesses are run by a woman.
That percentage drops to 6.9% when it comes to a large company. The gap extends to other levels of leadership: 49% of the companies listed on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange do not have a woman on their board. It is not that women do not participate in the labor market, but they arrive less at the highest positions. If we take the example of scientific researchers in the country,
61% of attendees are women, but only 25% of senior researchers are
.
And it is not just a situation that occurs in the private sector: according to CIPPEC, in the National Public Administration only 39% of employees are women, and female representation is barely 17% in the boards of public companies.
