Celebrating women's success - 2023 Most Admired Business Women Awards Gala
And while gender equality is still work in progress, Business Arena's 2023 Most Admired Business Women Awards Gala recognized women's success and achievements in the workplace, their creativity and leadership and their vital contribution to development throughout Romania.
Business leaders, entrepreneurs and high-ranking professionals got together to celebrate the ladies that make a difference in various sectors of society and contribute to the country's general prosperity and growth.
Looking at the European context, the European Commission's report points out that even though the EU employment rate for women has been increasing in recent years, barriers to women joining and remaining in the labour market persist. "Romania ranks lowest with a female employment rate of 33.7% vs 75.6% for men, while Slovenia performs best with a rate of 81.7% vs 94.4% for men. The tendency for women with children to be less likely to work while the employment rates of fathers increase remains true for all educational levels. Nevertheless, the gender gap is considerably lower in families with a higher level of education: it stands at 14.2 pps for workers with a tertiary education and at 41.5 pps for workers with less than primary and lower secondary education. Figures also show that the gender gap in employment increases significantly with the number of children," the report has revealed.
Also, the report suggests that the unequal distribution of women and men across sectors, occupations and fields of study remains deeply rooted in the EU. "Gender segregation is often linked to gender stereotypes; as such it narrows life choices, and education and employment options. It also contributes to the gender pay gap, to limiting access to certain jobs, and to perpetuating unequal gender power relations in the public and private spheres, therefore further reinforcing gender stereotypes."
Coming back to Business Arena's awards gala, the event included live music performances, it was organized in partnership with CEC Bank, Dr. Pascal Dameh Cinic, Apulum Porcelain Factory, Dr. Lorelei Nassar Implantology Clinic, Crama de Piatra, World Class Romania, The Brandoers, Irena Events, and was moderated by Razvan Spiridon.
