But if you think about it, in the work environment, private sector specifically, the criteria of selection is different than that of leadership hence the approach women take is similary different. In the private sector qualification matter the most. So when you have the government actively sponsoring and enabling women to succeed in education etc they will get more qualifications than men. In leadership the approach is different. Women are trying to get a free ticket into leadership positions in what is a very competitive space. It therfore should not surprise you when the two thirds gender rule flops because people are actively against it. So, a cliff? No. More like equality.
Despite the efforts put forward in realizing gender equality and breaking the glass ceiling in the corporate world, women have been held back by several social factors namely the caregiver role in the family and social stereotypes among others.
Due to her caregiver role the woman cannot compete with her male counterparts with regard to production or academic empowerment.
Social stereotypes such as engineering jobs are a reserve of men has also affected leadership hence setting women back with regard to corporate leadership.
