Women fared better on reality programs and game shows than as characters on scripted programs in 2022-23, according to a report released Tuesday by Martha Lauzen, executive director of the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University.
The latest 'Boxed In' report found that women made up 50% of the characters or contestants on unscripted programs but 43% of characters on scripted programs featured on the broadcast networks and streaming services.'These findings suggest that the percentage of females on screen will inch upward this year as television platforms rely more heavily on unscripted programs due to the interruption in production caused by the labor strikes,' Lauzen said.
'The percentage of female characters hasn't changed substantially on broadcast television in over a decade,' Lauzen said. 'In 2007-08, females comprised 43% of all characters. In 2022-2023, females accounted for 44% of all characters. The story is much the same for streamers. Females accounted for 44% of characters in 2016-17 and 45% in 2022-23.'The study found room for improvement in behind-the-scenes employment of women.
