Glass Ceiling May Take a Century to Crack

Feb 8, 2012 Amanda Kimball 2011 UC Davis Study of California Women Business Leaders

Faculty Focus • by Karen Nikos and Tim Akin

The proportion of women who lead California’s largest public companies is growing at such a slow pace that it will take more than a century for women business leaders to achieve parity with men, according to the Graduate School of Management’s seventh annual “UC Davis Study of California Women Business Leaders.”

The study found that women still occupy fewer than one in 10 of the top posts at the 400 largest public companies headquartered in California—a rate that has improved by just 0.2 percent annually.
