Despite this, women are rising to the moment as stronger leaders and taking on the extra work that comes with this. Women are doing more to support their teams and advance diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.

McKinsey & Co. shares industry-specific results of the 2021 survey and discusses actions companies must take now to address this workforce crisis and support women in microelectronics.
