Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week—and was a “model of composure” in the face of Republican attacks. More in the latest weekend reading on women's representation:
discriminationWhen talking about issues of gender within organisations, we usually focus on gender discrimination – the missed opportunities are at the centre of what is being discussed. Let us flip the conversation this time and focus on gender privilege instead. Considering gender privilege allows a fresh angle and outlook to gender differences in the workplace.
One measurable way of looking at gender privilege is examining the pay gap. The differences in remuneration by gender have been studied for several decades and evidence supports that men remain privileged in terms of total compensation at work. The latest data for the European Union for 2018 indicates that men in the EU earned approximately 16% more per hour than women ; this trend has remained largely unchanged over the last decade.
The next area to consider is the way gender privilege manifests itself across C-suite and board level management. In the US men are advantaged in holding senior appointments: 79% of C-suite executives in corporate America are male . Across the FTSE 100 companies in the UK, there are 94 men as compared to only six female chief executive officers . Many of the steps that are currently being taken to improve gender diversity at companies are unfortunately found to be highly ineffective.
