Representation of women in corporate roles — which has for long been below 30% in India — has been especially stagnating, and even possibly declining in the post-pandemic years, according to a report by professional social networking platform LinkedIn, ‘Women in Leadership in Corporate India’.
The data is based on LinkedIn members in India, where the firm has over 100 million people registered. Aparajita Bharti, co-founder of The Quantum Hub consultancy that worked with LinkedIn for the report, said that the reduction in the availability of hybrid or work-from-home roles may have contributed to this shift, suppressing the growth of female participation in the corporate labour market.
