The Report uses hard numbers to show why equity is not just an important social issue but an economic opportunity as well. “The gender equity conversation is at a pivotal moment globally as more individuals, business owners, executives, and policy makers, are searching for answers to issues surrounding gender bias,” said Katica Roy, CEO and founder of Pipeline. “This defining moment is a critical starting point for companies wanting to address this topic.” The Equity for All Report™ reveals the following snapshots of the global and local gender equity picture:

• Global
  • Gender equity has moved backward in the last year, yet its importance is paramount due to an aging workforce, the growing skills gap and the digital economy.

  • There is a 56 point gap between the percentage of CEOs who prioritize gender equity (78 percent) and employees who regularly see it measured and shared (22 percent).
• State-by-state
  • 70 percent of states have either stood still or moved backward in gender equity since 2015.
• Industry
  • Energy is the only industry that will eliminate the glass ceiling at the entry level by 2020.
• Politics
  • Electing more women to public office not only has the potential to bridge divides in the U.S. it could also improve the economy.
