We keep hitting the glass ceiling

Key findings

1. The index is based on 10 criteria (higher education, labour force participation, pay gap, management, boards, parliament, GMAT, childcare costs, maternity and paternity leave); Türkiye ranked 27th of 29 in the past two years.
2. Labour force participation is the criterion where Türkiye lags most: women’s participation is 40 points below men’s.
3. Women hold only 15% of management positions, half the OECD average.
4. 45% of graduate management test takers are women; women aspire to management almost as much as men.
5. Türkiye does better than the OECD average on the pay gap (7%).
6. Maternity leave is a third of the OECD average, and childcare costs more than families can afford.
7. Women executives cite unequal employment, the pay gap and prejudice around pregnancy and flexible working as the main barriers.
