This is a research on the impact of gender diversity on the economic performance of companies in Jordan. Despite constituting a large portion of society in Jordan, women have a minor presence in boardrooms and in senior decision-making positions.
The research sets out to demonstrate the degree of involvement by women in boardrooms and senior decision-making positions in the corporate world; the value of their presence when they are involved in those positions; and some of the challenges that women face in reaching such decision-making positions.
The publication also includes recommendations for ways to overcome those challenges.
