glass ceiling in Actuarial? (1 Viewer)

[paper cup]

Does this exist prominently? Are there statistics around for women who are employed in the field? (considering that there are less than 1500 qualified actuaries in Aus I don't imagine there would be any...but for other countries..?)

Yeh, you might wanna define glass ceiling haha

But i know a few very bright ac.st. students who are female..
1 of them who was my tutor (At macqU) got 100 in macroeconomics.

glass ceiling refers to an invisible barrier that prevents women from climbing the ranks in their career, and that barrier is their own gender.

Late reply but at PwC Actuarial there are PLENTY of female partners and directors. It doesn't appear that there is a glass ceiling here.
