Abstract
The article analyzes the gender aspects of sustainable development, notes the high relevance of inclusion and gender diversity in this process. It mentions that companies that have implemented these principles in their practice achieve better economic efficiency. Based on a review of modern research and statistical data (UNESCO, OECD, McKinsey, Crowe), on the one hand, a conclusion can be drawn that the gender gap in higher education in developed countries is gradually closing. On the other, there is a gender segregation of professions, especially in STEM sciences, the digital sector and IT. In Russia, the proportion of women in the field of higher education is quite high, but among the scientific personnel of the highest qualification (professors), it is only 35%. Under the third mission of universities, we mean the activities of universities, directly or indirectly aimed at solving social and economic issues, including those related to the implementation of sustainable development goals. To that end the author summarizes that it is necessary to promote programs that support inclusion and gender diversity in higher education through programs of the corporate social responsibility and support. Universities are “guides” of sustainable development at the local level.
