Sports gender gap

Visual form

Grouped bar chart.

Layout / body structure

The chart lays five workplace-support actions across the page, and each action is represented by a dark-blue bar for employees with women managers and a light-blue bar for employees with men managers.

What is being compared

It compares how often women report that their manager consistently took several supportive actions, split by whether that manager is a woman or a man.

Measurement system

The measure is percent of respondents, and the chart also prints the percentage-point gap above each action group so the difference is explicit as well as visual.

Visible structure inside the graphic

Each action category has a pair of bars, direct value labels inside the bars, and a positive gap marker above the pair, which turns the chart into a side-by-side comparison of support behaviors rather than a single-series ranking.

Main takeaway from the visual

Across every action shown, the dark-blue bar is higher than the light-blue bar, so the pattern is not isolated to one dimension of support but repeats across emotional support, well-being check-ins, workload management, burnout prevention, and open discussion of challenging topics.

Key standout values or extremes

The largest visible gap is emotional support at 51 percent versus 32 percent, a 19-point spread; the highest absolute value is overall well-being check-ins at 73 percent versus 61 percent; and the smallest shown gap is still positive at 9 points for promoting an environment where people can discuss challenging topics.
