Tysk tvunget kvindeandel i bestyrelser på 30 % fra januar 2016

Det tyske forskningsinstitut DIW skriver om de kommende tyske kvindekvoter for bestyrelser, at “in 2014, women remained the exception at the top of the corporate ladder: at barely five percent, the share of female executive board members in the top 200 companies (ranked by turnover) was up just one percentage point over the previous year. This is equivalent to 47 of a total of 877 board seats. If the figures for the top 100 only are taken into account, the share of women in top management has in fact fallen from just under five to just over four percent. These are the findings of the latest women executive barometer analysis conducted by DIW Berlin, one of the leading economic research institutions in Germany. “There has been next to no progress on the executive boards. They remain male-dominated monocultures, despite the obligation toward increasing the representation of women in senior management undertaken by the leading associations of the German business community in 2001. This is anything but a positive development,” explains Dr. Elke Holst, Research Director Gender Studies at DIW Berlin.”
