Today, women are well represented in the workplace; however, they do not predominantly occupy leadership positions. A broad range of sociological scholarship has examined the reasons why women are not represented as leaders in organi­zations and in positions of power. The disproportionately low number of women leaders is due to barriers that keep them from rising in organizations, including lack of opportunity for promotion, male dominance in organizations, and gender discrimination. These factors systematically exclude women from upper-level management and leader positions. This panel offers recent global research on women and leadership.
