Not Enough Burds

Germany has worst gender equality in top jobs it has been claimed, with the proportion of German women in management positions in the country's top companies as low as in India.


Only two percent of CEOs in Germany are women, the study found, with Barbara Kux of Siemens and Regine Stachelhaus of the energy company E.ON being among the few.

Sweden comes at the top of list, with a female contingent of 17% followed by Britain and the US, who both have 14%, but Germany fares better when it comes to boards of directors. 

13%of German board members being women, although this is still a long way behind Norway with 32% and Sweden with 27%.
