This paper uses firm-level data for 87 developing countries to analyze how the likelihood of a firm having female vs. male top manager varies across sectors. The service sector is often considered to be more favorable toward women compared with men vis-a-vis the manufacturing sector. Although the exploration of the data confirms a significantly higher presence of female managers in services vs. manufacturing, the finding is entirely driven by retail firms, with little contribution from other service sectors, such as wholesale, construction, and other services. The analysis also finds that the higher presence of female managers in the retail sector vs. manufacturing is much higher among the relatively small firms and firms located in the relatively small cities. These findings could serve as useful inputs for the design of optimal policy measures aimed at promoting gender equality in a country.

Vrouwen leven gemiddeld langer dan mannen, maar deze hogere levensverwachting is slechts een zeer partiële indicator voor haar gezondheidstoestand. Vrouwen blijken vaker ziek te zijn dan mannen, zij voelen zich doorgaans minder fit, zij ervaren meer situaties van niet-welbevinden, zoals depressiviteit, en zij melden vaker hinder van chronische gezondheidsproblemen, ziekten of handicaps enz. Dit boek maakt de balans op van het onderzoek vandaag naar de gezondheidsstatus van de vrouw vanuit sociaal-economisch perspectief. De vraag in welke mate de zwakkere sociale positie van de vrouw haar gezondheid in negatieve zin beïnvloedt, vormt de rode draad doorheen de verschillende bijdragen in dit boek.
