There are some sobering statistics in the wake of International Women\u2019s Day: Although women comprise nearly half of the global workforce (43.4%), less than one-third are in roles at the vice president level and above, according to newly-released LinkedIn data.<\/p>\n

Even though top-level management representation among women has grown between 2015 and 2024 from 27.5% to 30.4%, progress has slowed down, LinkedIn found<\/a>. There has only been an insignificant 0.2% increase since 2002.<\/p>\n

LinkedIn\u2019s data indicated that a skills-based hiring approach<\/a> would expand talent pools by 6x globally and \u201ccan substantially increase the pool of potential candidates and propel more qualified women forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span>Discouraging U.S. stats for women in leadership<\/span><\/h2>\n

As women in the U.S. climb higher on the corporate ladder, their numbers drop significantly. While they hold more than half of entry-level individual contributor positions, only one-third of women are in more senior individual contributor positions, according to LinkedIn.<\/p>\n

In terms of the management track, women hold 40% of early-career management positions but just 28.5% of C-suite positions, the career site said.<\/p>\n

This aligns with a new report from Ensono<\/a> that found 89% of women said AI skills have accelerated their careers, but leadership ambitions are stalling.<\/p>\n
