This discouraging figure falls at the same time as International Women's Rights Day, which takes place this Wednesday, March 8.
Despite laws and incentives such as the equal pay index, the Gironde prefecture and INSEE Nouvelle-Aquitaine revealed that, across all sectors, women were in the minority in most management positions in the region. .
Based on 2019 figures, these data reveal that "
only 128,000
women hold decision-making positions (excluding elected officials), compared to 208,000
men
".
According to their calculations, there is therefore a lack of 80,000 women in leading positions for the distribution to be equal.
Among these 128,000 women at the helm of establishments, 122,500 are non-salaried leaders, 4,400 salaried leaders (i.e. two women for ten positions), 700 executives and 350 leaders in the public service.
96% of women in decision-making positions are also self-employed.
Men are less likely to be individual entrepreneurs or microentrepreneurs, but more likely to be majority managers of companies.
Parity has only been achieved in the public hospital service, where women hold 52% of management positions.
Up to 30,000 euros less per year
Despite incentives and sanctions against political parties that do not respect parity in their lists, this is far from being achieved in the region.
Thanks to a law of 2007 "
to promote equal access of women and men to electoral mandates and elective functions
", the distribution has however been improved in the regional councils and departments, but inequalities persist.
Only one in five women is mayor of a municipality (22%), a slightly higher figure among the positions of first deputy (35%) and second and following (45%).
The higher the function, the fewer women there are.
The presidents of the region, the department, the metropolis and the ten most populated municipalities of the Gironde are currently all men.

These inequalities also translate into a difference in income, which can be as much as 30,000 euros net per year.
“
In New Aquitaine, women have on average an income from activity lower than that of men, regardless of the type of position held
”, specifies INSEE Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
Female salaried executives and senior executives currently earn 29% less than men.
A less marked difference in treatment in the public service (12% salary difference).
“
This gap takes into account the differences in working time.
It widens in the last part of the career for senior executives in particular, with an
annual average 31% higher income (i.e. €32,000
)
for men aged 50
years or more.
