There will be more North Americans at Davos 2020 than women
Gender representation is so poor at the World Economic Forum’s annual conference in Davos that 2020 delegates are more likely to run into someone from North America than a woman. For the sixth straight year, gender diversity at the elite gathering in the Swiss Alps has improved slightly, but with women only making up 24% of attendees, the accomplishment is minor. While women’s participation at Davos has seen incremental improvements each year—it was 15% in 2014, and 22% last year—the persistence of such low numbers highlights the regularity with which women are left out of high-level discussions and debates.
