ABOUT THE FEMALE QUOTIENT

The Female Quotient taps into the power of the collective to advance equality. Through our portfolio, we bring visibility to the invisible, create actions and accountability for change, and help companies close the gaps across parity, pipeline, and policy. Together with our partners, we are adding more women to every equation, from college campuses to the corner office, across sectors and industries.

Through our work, we tackle three fundamental, persistent challenges to parity:

Gender inequalities still exist — and, in many cases, are getting worse.
Women in business lack a community and a platform to raise their visibility.
Organizations lack effective ways close their equality gaps and engage the best talent.

When you add more women to any equation, there is a return on equality:

FASTER INNOVATION

75%

Companies with diversity are 75% more likely to bring innovative ideas to market.

STRONGER LEADERSHIP

1.7x

Organizations with more women in leadership deliver 1.7x stronger leadership.

GREATER MARKET SHARE

70%

Companies with diversity are 70% more likely to capture new markets.

PROFITABLE GROWTH

1.4x

Organizations with more women in leadership deliver 1.4x sustained profitable growth.

AND YET

For every 100 men promoted and hired to manager, only 72 women are promoted and hired.

Men hold 62% of manager-level positions, while women hold just 38%. The number of women decreases at every subsequent level.

Women account for less than a third (29%) of senior roles globally.

In the United States, on average, women make $0.82 to every $1 earned by men for annual earnings.

At the current rate of progress, it will take 99.5 years to achieve global gender equality and 257 years to close the economic gender gap.
