2. Every market has a minority of women among the top editors, including 🇧🇷 & 🇫🇮 where women outnumber men among working journalists. Here are %

0% Japan 🇯🇵
6% Mexico 🇲🇽
11% S. Korea 🇰🇷
13% HK 🇭🇰
22% Brazil 🇧🇷
27% Germany 🇩🇪
29% UK 🇬🇧
33% Finland 🇫🇮

3. When we compare the % of women in journalism with the % of women in top editorial positions, we find a strong and positive correlation. And yet, in 9 out of 10 markets, there are many more women working as journalists than women among the top editors #HappyWomensDay2020 Image
4. We find no meaningful correlation between gender inequality in society and the % of women in top editorial positions. Countries like Germany and South Korea that score well on the UN Gender Inequality Index have very few women among the top editors #IWD2020 Image
5. There is a notable variation in the % of people who get news from outlets with a female top editor in the 10 markets covered. It ranges from a high of 77% in South Africa🇿🇦 to 0% in Japan🇯🇵. Look at the chart #IWD2020 #InternationalWomensDay #HappyWomensDay2020 Image
