Abstract:
The article focuses on the role of women in management. Particular attention is paid to the disproportionate representation of women and men in decision-making and at leadership positions. The article is aimed at covering the problematics of gender inequality in the professional management activities in Ukraine. The objectives of the research are: disclosure of the essence of gender development and gender inequality in the context of human development; study on the status of gender inequality in Ukraine and the world; statistical analysis of gender aspects of employment in the sphere of management; disclosure of modern representation of women at different levels of management both in the public and private sectors. The authors use both general scientific and specific methods of research, in particular: analysis of legislation, scientific and professional literature, generalization, systematization, classification. It is shown that the proportion of women in management in the XXI century tends to parity with the number of men, but female leadership is mostly limited to medium and lower levels of management. It is proven that the distribution of leadership positions between the sexes reflects gender stereotypes about the traditional activities of men and women. The sectors in which female leaders prevail are allocated and the least gender-diversified areas of activity are outlined. It is determined that inequality between women and men in access to institutions of political and economic power and leadership is a manifestation of social disparity and gender imbalance, which is a serious social contradiction, a problem that should now become the basis for further research of scientific and applied nature. It is concluded that ensuring gender equality, parity and women’s empowerment is of fundamental importance for the sustainable development of society.

Keywords: balanced development, gender inequality, gender gaps, gender segregation, managerial activity, female leadership.
