- Description
- 'Of the 25 AEX-index listed organizations in The Netherlands only four have women in CEO or CFO positions. At the current rate, gender equality at work will not be reached until 2060 (Stichting de Beauvoir, 2012). These numbers point out a societal problem of female talent going to waste, especially considering the fact that more Dutch women, compared to men, are nowadays earning university degrees and are doing so at a faster rate. Within academia the situation is not any better. Although the percentage of women earning PhD degrees in the United States and Europe has increased and in some fields (e.g., humanities, agriculture, education, health) more than half of the degrees are earned by women, this has not translated into equal numbers of women becoming full professors. It is evident that in terms of gender equality, still a lot needs to be done in the Netherlands.'
