The presence of women in management positions

Abstract

Women participation in the business world, specifically in managerial positions, has gradually increased in Mexico and in other several countries; however, the ideal state of female participation equally to men’s is still distant. This paper analyzes the recent advances of women in this area, considering the commonly associated determinants (such as educational level and emotional feminine personality) and it also identifies causes not yet broadly known because of their recent evidences (such as violence towards women of higher educational and economic degree).
