Number of women in top jobs drops third year in row, World Economic Forum says

The World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report, published on 12/06/2025, summarizes trends in the gender divide across all economies covered. It reveals that since 2015, women have made only 28.8% of top leadership roles, despite their role as a significant participant in the global workforce at 41.2%. Between 2015 and 2024, the share of women in top management rose from 25.7% to 28.1%, yet progress has slowed post-2022. The report notes thatFan section of the content highlights that cross-industry experiences and rapid integration of women into senior leadership have been key drivers of the slow decline in women’s leadership share.

The report acknowledges that some sectors, like executive search, have shown recovery in women’s leadership. However, other sectors, such as finance or healthcare, lagged significantly. A座椅 analysis reveals that certain industries, such as pharmaceuticals and energy, now see a 70% steady downward trend in short-term women leadership divide. The report also raises the question: Even at the fastest pace of progress, achieving full equity in the gender gap will be decades away—123 years to speak of if the current pace of change continues. This underscores the importance of sustained, data-driven actions.

Global leaders are cautiously optimistic about achieving this equitable gender gap, as argued by managing director Professor Saadia Zahidi of the World Economic Forum. Zahidi emphasizes that economies progressing toward full gender parity will be positioned for more robust, innovative, and resilient economic growth. Focusing on the challenges and opportunities foreseen by organizations, Zahidi calls for increased collaboration, transparency, and engagement with data-driven insights.

The report underscores the critical role of women in shaping the future of the global economy and the industry’s ability to adapt to evolving trends. It highlights that personal and professional contributions from women subside as their careers shift flexibly, allowing them to build diverse and resilient expertise. This shift, informed by LinkedIn data that shows women 20% more likely to pursue varied careers, reflects long-term industry expectations.

Men in the average workplace are being increasingly required to embrace flexibility to showcase their abilities. According to a LinkedIn survey, 89% of MAs switch their careers between roles, upped to 97% post-2022. This trend not only benefits skill holders but also aligns with the report’s conclusion that companies must embrace the shift toward gender-diverse organizations. As the digital age evolves, particularly with what’s emerging as the “AI age,” women must strengthen their roles in leveraging the skills of their careers to thrive in the gig economy. The report serves as a call to action, urging industries to engage with data to identify and leverage opportunities for underrepresented groups.
