Just one of the 25 CEOs appointed to lead ASX 200 organisations in the past year has been female, and it’s not something we can excuse as a 2020 anomaly.
It’s hard to believe that the already minuscule number of women leading these organisations could have dwindled further, but it has. Dropping from 12 to 10. So just 5 percent of ASX200 companies are now led by a woman.
Other key stats from the CEW report:
- Just 5 per cent of leadership line roles in healthcare are held by women, despite the workforce being female dominated
- Women in senior IT roles have dropped to 9%, from 21% four years ago
