Abstract
A well-developed management structure is the backbone for the
successful operation of any enterprise. The underrepresentation of women in
managerial positions has been a persistent concern in the context of gender
equality and economic development. This paper investigates the percentage
participation of women managers in European countries and its potential
connection to GDP per capita. Utilizing a comprehensive dataset comprising
various European countries, we conduct a comparative analysis of the
proportion of women in managerial roles across different economies with a
special reference to North Macedonia. Additionally, GDP per capita data is
incorporated to explore potential correlations between women's representation
in management and economic prosperity. The analysis covers the following
regions: Scandinavia, Nordic region, as well as Eastern, Western and Southern
Europe. The analysis refers to two consecutive years, 2020 and 2021. Тhe
results indicate that the percentage participation of women managers and GDP
per capita are inversely proportional in the Scandinavian region, the Nordic
region, as well as Eastern and Western Europe, while the opposite conclusion
applies to the countries of Southern Europe.
