    Gender inequality in the top management of Kazakhstan companies
    (2024) Assanatdinova A.
    This thesis investigates the problem of gender inequality in the top management of companies in Kazakhstan, with a focus on large and small companies. The main objective of the work is to identify the extent of gender inequality, analyse the factors contributing to this inequality and assess its impact on companies' productivity and employee morale. The study is based on qualitative data analysis. In a large company in Kazakhstan, a national oil and gas company, women hold only 10 per cent of top management positions. As part of this analysis, 50 employees were interviewed, of whom 20 per cent reported barriers to the promotion of women to senior positions. In comparison, in smaller companies in Kazakhstan, the average proportion of women in senior management is 25 per cent. Analysis of data from 30 small companies showed that 30% of employees believe that gender inequality is less pronounced in their company compared to large companies. The main factors contributing to gender inequality include socio-cultural attitudes, economic barriers and organisational characteristics such as lack of flexible schedules and lack of support programmes for women. The study found that gender inequality has a negative impact on company productivity and employee morale. In a large company where gender inequality is more pronounced, employees show 15% lower levels of job satisfaction compared to small companies. In conclusion, the thesis offers recommendations to reduce gender inequality, including introducing flexible working hours, developing support and mentoring programmes for women, and changing company culture and policies. In addition, recommendations are made for government agencies to create favourable conditions for achieving gender equality in senior management of companies in Kazakhstan.
