Study finds that women at the top experience more sexual harassment:
Sexual harassment is historically understood as being more about power than about sex. Most of the #MeToo cases that have made the news follow a power dynamic that fits this model of understanding: a man who’s higher up in the organizational hierarchy wielding their power in an inappropriate manner over a woman who either directly or indirectly works under that man.
Sweden’s data came from the Swedish Work Environment Survey, a nationally representative dataset collected biannually by Statistics Sweden. Five waves of data sets were used: 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, and 2007. In each, a definition of sexual harassment was offered and the respondents were presented the subjective question—accompanied by some examples—of whether or not they had been sexually harassed in the last twelve months.
Among the three countries, the most narrow difference in exposure to sexual harassment was seen in Sweden where female supervisors reported a 30% higher rate of harassment than employees not in supervisory positions. In the U.S., a 50% higher rate for supervisors was found for the list-based measure and a nearly 100% higher rate for the subjective measure.
