abstract: 'The participation of women in labor activity makes a significant

  contribution to unlocking the employment potential of the region and the

  country as a whole. At the same time, the traditional division of gender

  roles, which is typical for Russia, affects the position of women in the

  labor market. Although in modern Russian society, the family model is

  actually dominant, where a man is not the only bread winner in the

  family, and a woman continues to work after the birth of the children.

  However, despite the undeniable progress in the issue of integrating

  women into the labor market, it is too early to speak about the complete

  equality in distribution of work. The current situation shows that

  women, in comparison with men, are the most vulnerable social group.

  Women are more likely to be discriminated when they are employed and

  promoted. Modern scientists, for the most part, recognize that women

  have a high level of the employment potential. The authors conducted a

  study on the probability of unlocking the female employment potential in

  leadership positions. The paper analyzes and identifies the main

  socially determined and personal gender stereotypes in the Russian labor

  market. It has been determined which factors, such as education, marital

  status, motherhood, social status of a husband, self-confidence have a

  positive or negative influence on unlocking the female employment

  potential in leadership positions. In modern society, from a legal point

  of view, women have every opportunity to be successful professionals.
