Pan-IIM survey reveals lack of equal opportunities for women
The Hindu
A staggering 35% of alumnae and students from 20 Indian Institutes of Managements (IIMs) in the country say that they do not have equal opportunities for career growth as the men in their organisations.
The response was based on the second Pan-IIM survey on ‘Women in the Workplace’, an initiative of IIM Kozhikode, which is celebrating its silver jubilee year. However, the figure has shown a decline (49%) from the previous edition of the survey held last year, said a press release here on Monday. The survey received over 350 responses from alumni and students across the 20 IIMs, with the majority of the respondents working at mid to senior management levels across industries. While most of the responses came from India, it was interesting to see a mix of responses from across 15 other countries, said the release.
