Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau just made 50 percent of his cabinet women. Female management in the country’s corporations is well below that.
Women hold an average 12 percent of executive positions and 14 percent of board seats according to available data on 242 companies on the Standard & Poor’s/TSX Composite Index, Canada’s main equity index. They hold 25 percent of management positions and only seven companies have female chief executive officers, the data compiled by Bloomberg show.
