Workforce gender gap begins early in India with women holding just one in three entry-level private sector roles and only 24 per cent of managerial positions, a report said on Wednesday.

In India, despite forming half of the university graduate pool, women continue to face systemic barriers to entry, advancement, and retention in formal employment, according to McKinsey & Company’s ‘Women in the Workplace’ report.

It showed that women hold just one in three entry-level private sector roles and only 24 per cent of manager positions, signalling a wide gap between potential and actual representation.

The report is based on insights of 77 private sector organisations having a total of 9 lakh employees. The imbalance is further highlighted by a seven-year age gap at the entry level where women average 39 years compared to men at 32 years, the widest across the countries studied.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
