Gender diversity in the workplace is making slow-but-steady progress, according to a new report released on Thursday by LinkedIn and The Quantum Hub, a public policy research firm.

There has been an increase in the overall representation of females in all seniorities—directors, vice presidents, C-suites, and partner positions—rising from 24 percent in 2016 to 26 percent by 2020, and 27 percent in 2024.

However, the progress in elevating women to senior leadership positions has been slow. It increased from 17 percent in 2016 to 19 percent in 2022, but then dipped slightly to 18 percent in 2024. This may self-correct as the year progresses, as per the report.

The analysis is based on self-reported data available on employment-focussed social media platform LinkedIn, collating trends from over a billion members across 41,000 skills; 67 million companies; and 133,000 schools globally.
