Women are still largely absent in the top jobs at UK firms as well as in parliament, the Equal Opportunities Commission has said.
Only 10% of directors of the UK’s FTSE 100 firms are women, while under 20% of people in parliament are female.
Change has been “painfully slow” in recent decades and ethnic minority women are notably missing in top roles.
The survey calculates that to begin redressing the imbalance, a further 6,000 women should be in top positions.
