Here are all the countries where you're more likely to have a female boss

Britain still has a long way to go before gender equality across FTSE 100 companies reaches a 50/50 split.

In the UK, there are only five women that are FTSE 100 CEOs and female representation only accounts for 23.5% of available board positions at these companies.

But, according to US research firm Expert Market, which looked at data from the International Labour Organisation Statistical Office (ILO) 2014, there are three countries that have a higher percentage of female CEOs than men.
