INTRODUCTION

Women Lag Men in Leadership Positions despite Being Nearly 50 Percent of the Labor Force

Women’s Representation in Fortune 500 Leadership is Stagnant over Time

Women’s Leadership Representation Has Failed to Grow Appreciably—Regardless of Industry

Women Lag Men in Fortune 500 Leadership—Including in Female-Prevalent Industries

The fortune 500 leadership gap persists despite high female workforce representation and women outpace men in advanced degrees

The pay gap for women at the top reflects a system that continues to perpetuate pay inequity for women in the workplace

The pay gap for women begins with their very first job—and increases over time

Women in business leadership are essential to a healthy economy and to business performance

The percent of women board directors is a predictor of more women Corporate Officers

CONCLUSION

The Gender Leadership and Pay Gaps Are Alive and Well

The Solutions Are Clear

ABBREVIATIONS

RESULTS IN BRIEF

BACKGROUND

EEOC

OFCCP

Women’s Bureau

EEOC-Labor Memorandum of Understand

EEOC RESPONDS TO INDIVIDUAL CHARGES OF DISCRIMINATION AND PROVIDES BROAD OUTREACH, BUT DOES NOT TRACK PERFORMANCE RELATED TO GENDER PAY ISSUES

EEOC Responds to All Individual Charges Using a Prioritized Approach and also Conducts Some Agency-Initiated Investigations

EEOC’s Performance Monitoring Related to Gender Pay Enforcement Is Limited

EEOC Conducts Outreach Covering Broad Topics, including Gender Pay, and Measures Performance of Some Fee-Based Outreach

LABOR TARGETS SYSTEMIC GENDER PAY DISCRIMINATION AND CONDUCTS OUTREACH, BUT LIMITATIONS EXIST IN ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS AND MONITORING PERFORMANCE

OFCCP Conducts Compliance Evaluations and Targets Systemic Discrimination

OFCCP Has Not Yet Evaluated Its Mathematical Model to Select Contractors

Related Guidance from OFCCP Is Not Cross-Referenced and the Office Lacks a Tracking Mechanism to Help Ensure Contractors Self-Evaluate as Required

Labor Does Not Monitor Performance Related to Gender Pay Enforcement and Underlying Data Are Questionable

OFCCP Provides Outreach to Federal Contractors, but Does Not Systematically Measure Its Performance

Labor’s Women’s Bureau Provides Direct Services to Women and Is Meeting Most of Its Goals
