(4) Methods : The date to be collected are information about the class, family, educational and carreer background and experiences of women and men in top leadership positions in business and politics. The focus is on how they achieved their positions of power, what obstacles they encountered on the way, and how the obstacles were overcome. The date will be collected through a self-administered questionnaire. Countries may choose to supplement the questionnaire with personal interviews with 20% of the respondents. The sample will consist of top leaders in the two sectors of business and electoral politics. These sectors have been chosen because of the importance of the economy and the state in shaping gender divisions in society. The sample size will be 30 women and 30 men from each country, divided equally between the two categories of business and politics.
