摘要：Does gender matter in banking? In a 2014 article in American Banker magazine, Editor in Chief Heather Landy lamented the decline in female CEOs of banks with assets of more than $10 billion. Of the nearly 100 bank holding companies of this size, there were only five female CEOs in 2011 and the article projected that this number would decline to two female CEOs by the end of 2014. Data from Catalyst, a non-profit organization dedicated to expanding opportunities for women and business, shows that the percentage of female directors and female executive officers in the finance and insurance industry among the Fortune 500 companies has recently decreased after initially increasing in the aftermath of the financial crisis. The percentage of female directors increased from 16.1% in 2007 to 19% in 2012and then decreased to 17.9% in 2013. The percentage of female executive officers increased from 16.6% in 2007 to 19.1% in 2010and then decreased to 17.6% by 2013. Data from the Bureau of Labour Statistics show that the percentage of women employed in the banking industry has fallen from 68.4% in 2004 to 61.9% in 2015..
