Around two-thirds of both men and women believe women should be in paid jobs, according to the results of a poll from the International Labour Organization (ILO) and Gallup.
The 70 percent of women who would prefer that women work at paid jobs rather than stay at home full-time only narrowly outpaces the 66 percent of men who believe the same.
While 31 percent of U.S. businesses have no senior women, Eastern Europe fared better with less than a tenth of businesses without women in senior roles.
This only slightly differed from the 29 percent of men whose first choice was that women remained full-time within the home.
The concept that difficulties for women in paid jobs mount as they become more senior is so long established in the collective psyche that it has its own widely used term of "glass ceiling".
