time and place
Friday 3 June 2022, 12:00–13:00
SNS, Jakobsbergsgatan 18, Stockholm.
Women are not believed to have the same potential as men when decisions about promotion are made, according to research from the US. What does it look like in Sweden and what can be done to change it?
Danielle Li at MIT has examined US data from over 30,000 employees. Her results show that women’s managerial potential is judged to be lower than men’s, even when they perform better than their male colleagues. This in turn explains a significant part of the promotion gap between men and women, according to Li. At the seminar, the results are discussed and placed in a Swedish context.
The seminar is part of Gender equality in the 2020s, a collaboration with the Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI).

Danielle Li, Class of 1922 Career Development Professor and Associate professor at MIT Sloan School of Management
Magnus Tegborg, CEO at Alumni
