Kampala, Uganda<\/strong> \u2014 BrighterMonday Uganda in partnership with the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) in Uganda announced the publication of their first edition of the status report titled, “Women at Work:”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report<\/a> shared insights from the Women at Work survey results and analysis such as the fact that 52% of women with an education level above a Master\u2019s degree were in senior or executive level positions compared to 75% of men with the same education according to the survey data which shows a disparity in correlation between education & career outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the report<\/a> showed that among women, millennials are generally more satisfied (54%) with the current jobs which tracks with most of them making into mid to senior levels compared to their younger counterparts (Gen Zs) at 41% who are likely not to follow the norm of a structured career path & timeline therefore their perceptions of work & career advancements differ from those of millennials which contributes to these disparities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
