En undersøgelse publiceret i Harvard Law School Forum konkluderer, at 47% af nye bestyrelsesmedlemmer i USA’s 3000 største virksomheder er kvinder. Blandt erfarne bestyrelsesmedlemmer er 28% kvinder.
Undersøgelsen konkluderer også, at gennemsnitsalderen for nye bestyrelsesmedlemmer er 58 år, til sammenligning er gennemsnitsalderen for erfarne bestyrelsesmedlemmer 64 år. 28% af de nye bestyrelsesmedlemmer er også medlemmer i andre bestyrelser, mens 15% af de erfarne bestyrelsesmedlemmer sidder i mere end en bestyrelse.
Fra undersøgelsen: “The percentage of Caucasian/white director participation is lower among new directors (61%) than among tenured directors (83%). The prevalence of Asian (exc. Indian/South Asian) and Hispanic/Latin American ethnicities among new directors is double that among tenured directors.”
“The percentage of women among new directors (46.5%) is higher than that of female tenured directors (27.8%). The top industries where most new directors are women include Household and Personal Products (59.1%), Consumer Discretionary Distribution and Retail (53.6%), Food, Beverage & Tobacco (51.8%), Media and Entertainment (51.2%), and Semiconductors and Semiconductor Equipment (50.8%)”
