日内瓦，11月3日——联合国劳工机构周二发布的一项全球调查显示，劳动力市场依然存在严重失衡，女性担任的管理职位仍不足三分之一。
GENEVA, Nov 3 - A critical imbalance remains in the labour market with women still occupying less than a third of management roles, a global survey by the UN labour body showed on Tuesday.
根据国际劳工组织对99个国家数千家公司的调查数据，虽然女性首席执行官的数量在增加，但她们仅占管理职位总数的30.5%。
While there is a growing number of women CEOs, they hold just 30.5% of overall management posts, according to a survey by the International Labour Organization with data from thousands of companies across 99 countries.
国际劳工组织高级关系专家张在熙在日内瓦的新闻发布会上表示，尽管女性教育取得显著进步，但这一比例较三十年前的24%左右仅缓慢增长。
This share has grown slowly from around 24% three decades ago despite significant gains in women's education, the ILO's senior relations specialist Jae-Hee Chang told a Geneva press conference.
她说：“已经取得了进展，有充分的商业理由（推动女性晋升），但（女性的）巨大潜力仍未得到充分利用。”
"There has been progress. There is a strong business case, but (women's) considerable potential remains underutilised," she said.
报告形容这是一种“严重失衡”，并指出有迹象显示，对已被证明有效的女性支持计划（如产假）的落实正在下降。
The report described a "critical imbalance" and said that there were signs that implementation of support programmes for women - such as maternity leave which have proven to be effective - was declining.
报告呼吁企业采取措施解决阻碍晋升的结构性障碍，并表示还需要审视工作场所之外不平等的照护责任等其他因素。
It called for companies to implement steps to address structural barriers to progression and said that other factors like unequal care responsibilities outside the workplace also needed to be examined.
