Public versus Private

Globally, women are increasingly being elected to leadership positions within the public sector – such as heads of state, ministers and cabinet members and legislators.

The research shows that almost 10% of United Nations members have female heads of state, against 3% of the top 1000 multinational companies that have a woman president or CEO.

Furthermore, the women comprise nearly 20 percent of parliamentary seats worldwide, compared with 13.5 percent of women executive officers of the top 500 U.S companies.

“Talent and knowledge are the most important resources a nation can possess”, said Greg Pellegrino, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, Global Public Sector Industry Leader, and one of the authors of the report.

“Women’s progress has vital implications for the health and growth of governments, companies and nations. Therefore, it is crucial that governments and companies work together to harness and cultivate global female talent, to help create positive change and ensure continued growth and success.”
