More Gender Examples

Some useful new gender examples (it can be quite boring mentioning Marissa Mayer all the time...or do u know who she is?) and statistics.....
Note:
-Japan as an example where only 1% at the top in the corporate world is helmed by women, and where women earned only 66% that of men (see HERE)
-Singapore where the gender wage gap is among the narrowest in the world, even better than a developed, liberal country like France and the US. Women in France earn about 73% of men's pay. But female board representation in the corporate world for Singapore is still lacking at 7% (based on 2011, see HERE)
-mid management often well represented by females, about half in the US, but at the top management, only 15% in US...use this to rebut and evaluate....in short, discrimination usually sets in only in the upper echelons
-note the reasons given for the underrepresentation of women
-the use of laws and quota to ensure gender diversity and equitable gender representation at the top echelons, see eg on Scandinavian countries and Italy, France....
