| Title | Female Underrepresentation in Top Leadership and Decision-Making Positions in Botswana's State-Owned Enterprise Sector |
| Summary | Gender gaps remain evident in different sectors of Botswana’s labour market which negatively affects the progress on attaining Sustainable Development Goal 5 adopted by the United Nations in 2015 which aims at achieving gender equality by 2030. Despite the efforts by the Botswana government to advance women's participation and empowerment, gender equality is still a challenge as women remain less represented in top leadership and decision-making positions in the country’s labor market. This thesis aims to explore the challenges that women are faced with in advancing into high-ranked positions in Botswana’s State-Owned Enterprise sector. The study collects data through desktop research and elite interviews with women in executive management positions and non-governmental organization representatives, it uses the qualitative method of research to gain perspective on the experiences and existing literature on the topic. The findings and discussions of the research are important for contribution to existing literature and as future research on the progress of female representation in Botswana. |
