The Inspiring Birmingham Women in Leadership summit explored a number of current challenges facing aspiring female leaders in the city – which lags at, or near, the bottom of many performance tables comparing the UK’s Core Cities.

A recent statistical analysis report for Birmingham entitled ‘Women in the labour market’ showed that female participation in the labour market is lower than that of men – women still lag men in advancement, compensation, and leadership; and women still face challenges in moving to senior positions within organisations.
