女性商业领袖人数增加，但大权仍然掌握在男性手中

    在几乎所有行业和国家，进入董事会和身处高管职位的女性人数都在不断增加。但对数据进行深入研究后发现，从事领导职位的女性和男性之间，存在着令人困扰的职责区分。

    瑞士信贷（Credit Suisse）周二公布了一份公司高层职位性别差异报告。该报告显示，全球董事会中女性的比例从2010年的9.6%增加到2013年底的12.7%。同时，高级管理岗位中的女性比例也增加到12.9%。

    然而，在所有地区和大多数行业，从事人力资源、公关和法律等职位的女性，明显多于经营管理岗位。支持性或共享服务工作在公司里的影响力更低，这便意味着女性在公司高层所掌握的权力不足。上述调查结果基于瑞士信贷的专有数据库——瑞士信贷性别3000（The Credit Suisse Gender 3000），该数据库由40个国家所有主要行业的3,000多家公司组成。

    The number of women on boards and in top management positions is increasing in almost every sector and country. Yet a deeper look at the data highlights a troubling divide in responsibility between women and men in leadership roles.

    Women comprised 12.7% of global board appointments at the end of 2013, up from 9.6% in 2010, according to a report by Credit Suisse released on Tuesday about the gender gap in top business jobs. Meanwhile, female representation in senior management positions has grown to the comparable figure of 12.9%.

    However, in all regions and in most sectors, women have a significantly larger representation in roles like human relations, public relations and legal than in operational roles. Support or shared service jobs, tend to carry less influence with the company, which translates to a shortage in power for women at the top. These findings are based on The Credit Suisse Gender 3000, a proprietary database from Credit Suisse made up of more than 3,000 companies across 40 countries and all major sectors.

    瑞士信贷全球股票研究总监斯蒂凡诺•纳特拉说道：“更多女性从事的是影响力更低、直接盈亏责任更少的管理岗位。有一点毋庸置疑，经营管理岗位比共享服务岗位，有更多的机会成为CEO。”

    “Women are more represented in management areas that carry less influence and have less direct P&L responsibilities,” says Stefano Natella, global head of equity research for Credit Suisse. “There is no question about it; the chances of anybody going from an operations role to CEO are much higher than from a shared services role to CEO.”
