The low representation of women in leadership positions has induced the EU Commission to define measures and targets for gender equality. Almost simultaneously, the measures adopted in the coronavirus pandemic have led to profound changes in the organisation of work. These can slow or inhibit the process. This article provides an overview of the situation of women in leadership positions and the most important reasons for their underrepresentation. Special attention is paid to the effects of the COVID-19 measures in order to identify opportunities and risks. It becomes clear that the same measures entail both positive and negative effects through behavioural changes. Nevertheless, in the long term, women are likely to benefit significantly from the new conditions.
女性在领导岗位上的代表性不足促使欧盟委员会制定了性别平等的措施和目标。几乎与此同时，新冠疫情期间采取的措施给工作组织带来了深刻变化。这些变化可能会减缓或阻碍这一进程。本文概述了女性在领导岗位上的状况以及她们代表性不足的最重要原因。特别关注了新冠疫情措施的影响，以便识别机遇和风险。很明显，同样的措施通过行为变化产生了积极和消极的影响。然而，从长远来看，女性可能会从新环境中大幅受益。
