Yet one glaring fact about the C -Suite eludes much of the corporate governance literature and executive co mpensation policy reforms and proposals: the C-Suite\, particularly the CE O role\, has long been and continues to be dominated by men. Despite makin g up half the workforce\, few women lead companies in corporate America. O nly 8% of CEOs of Fortune 500 companies are women\, and women make up less than a quarter of C-level executives. Ample evidence shows that when wome n come to dominate a profession\, the salary of that profession drops. Thi s is particularly true in high-paid white-collar jobs. In a recent essay\, published in Inequality Inquiry\, we pose the question of whether the opp osite proves equally true: as men dominate a profession\, does the salary of that profession rise? Might masculinity be the culprit behind increasin gly outrageous CEO compensation packages? The essay begins to explore the correlation between executive compensation and men’s domination over senio r executive roles\, focusing on the CEO position. We delve into various th eories that could help explain why men dominate the most lucrative role in corporate America. We argue that law and corporate governance need to acc ount for these theories in designing solutions that address gender dispari ty in the CEO role.\n\nAbout \n\n \n\nProfessor Darren Rosenblum’s scholar ship focuses on corporate governance\, in particular on diversity initiati ves and remedies for sex inequality. They joined the Faculty of Law of McG ill University as a Full Professor in August 2021\, from the Elisabeth Hau b School of Law at Pace University.
