Yes and 0% unemployed people in management positions as well.
Why is everybody so convinced that there should be an equal amount of every trait in any given set of people?
c.a. 50% of all humans are men but 0% of men give birth, how do we fix this inequality.
Seriously why would having X % of anything in set one mean that it should be exactly X % in a totally unrelated set?
- lunias 7y agoSome good points haha ;P. I think it's more about the gender distribution in the set of managers (a single set). I agree that purposefully making it into a 50 / 50 distribution is at worst harmful and at best a waste of time. I think the goal should be (and mostly is) to remove bias and allow the distribution to be decided "naturally". I also believe that these things take time in order to manifest. Let's see an article comparing the statistics from 1970 to today. I bet we've come a long way in reducing bias and that our hiring practices continue to reflect that.
- notatechie 7y agoI agree that bias has started reducing, that is what researchers call, 'the glass ceiling has started to break'. But we still have a long way to go when it come to that change percolating deeper into the system. Women, may not get equal opportunities as men when they start out their career. And that is where the real work needs to happen, I think.
