At InPower Women it’s important for us to keep a current eye on how women are doing in the workforce and in society in general. This gender research index of studies below are our favorites for painting a topical picture of the ever-changing relationship of women and the workplace. This includes studies about women, their impact and how they most successfully advance their own search for career (and life!) satisfaction.

Why Are Women Good For Business?

The gender research index studies listed in this section look at diverse populations and correlate the presence of women – primarily in leadership positions – with the results achieved by the group, organization or sector studied. More and more gender research studies are showing that women in leadership make a measurable and positive impact on business and the economy!

Are Women Capable Leaders?

These gender research index studies evaluate what women (and men) are capable of, genetically, neurologically and behaviorally. Many of them draw conclusions or hypotheses about how these fundamental capabilities affect our ability to perform in business situations.

How Many Women Are There In Business?

These gender research index studies track the number of women – usually as a percentage – at various levels of participation in business, government and other organizations. Because many of the studies above show correlation between women in leadership, as measured by board membership and senior executive roles, there is an emphasis in participation studies on these categories. We endeavor to find as many participation metrics as we can and will list them here.

How Can Women Advance In Their Careers?

The gender research index studies in this section provide insight into what you can do with your innate abilities to advance your career, get promotions and build your business and resume. They study the behaviors, skills and attitudes that successful (and unsuccessful) business people exhibit and provide insights based on the correlations of behavior and success.

How Are Gender Trends Changing?

The gender research index studies in this section measure what large populations are doing and thinking, liking and disliking. They provide insights on how women and men are living their lives and the role that business plays. They also provide opinion data that provides insight into why we are thinking and doing certain things. This section provides particularly interesting insights into issues affecting work-life balance.

This gender research index page includes links to research summaries on and off our website that we believe tell the most important stories. Research is exploding in this area and we make a good faith effort to screen for the most current and most insightful studies. If you know of a study we don’t have–but should–please contact us and let us know.
