Finally, we concluded that the majority of women chiefs prone to a forced or mixed type of business activity. The commitment to income growth as the main incentive for climbing the career ladder is explained by the troublesome economic situation, economic crises and downfalls of recent years. A woman needs to financially assist to herself and her family, and this is the first incentive for career growth.
