This document presents statistics that highlight the lack of gender diversity in companies and its negative financial impacts. It reports that only 7.4% of Fortune 500 CEOs are female, and men are twice as likely to be hired over equally qualified women. Companies with more equal gender representation in leadership have 21% higher profitability. Closing the gender gap in workforce participation could increase global GDP by up to $28 trillion. However, only 4% of executive managers are women of color and 23% are female. Additionally, the average net worth of women is just under half of men's average net worth.
