- 6 years ago
The number of female executives working for South Korea's top 100 companies surpassed 2-hundred for the first time this year.
Local market research firm Korea CXO Institute says... the number has doubled in five years since it topped one-hundred in 2013.
The proportion of female executives came to three-point-two percent this year, up one percentage point from 2016.
Samsung Electronics had the most women executives at 57..., accounting for five-point-five percent of all Samsung executives.
However, women still don't account for five percent of the total, leaving South Korea rooted to the bottom of the OECD's "glass-ceiling index."
