The gender trend of individual shareholders of JSCs operating in the country is completely asymmetric in favor of male shareholders. Thus, there are just 158 joint stock companies that have at least one female shareholder in a total of 847 JSC-s operating in the country. In these 158 JSCs there are 2567 female shareholders versus 5252 male shareholders dominators in 457 JSCs. The ratio of female shareholders to the total number of individual shareholders is 30.3%.

But this gender indicator is even more inferior if we calculate the weight of the capital owned by female shareholders versus the capital owned by male shareholders. Female shareholders own only 8% of the capital owned by individual shareholders, while male shareholders own 92% of this total.
