Women are promoted at higher rates than men. Then the senior jobs stop bending

Key points

• Women are being promoted at higher rates than men at several points in the pipeline, but that advantage disappears at the most senior levels, according to new analysis from the Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre. The research found only 13.2 per cent of employers design management roles that can be done part-time.
• Researchers say flexible senior roles could help more women reach the top.
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women face some of the widest gaps between the flexibility they want and the flexibility they receive, a separate report found.
