In December 2014, the German government announced a new rule which would require German companies to fill 30% of their board seats with women. In 2016 23.6% of corporate boards in Australia appointed women to fill board ships. There are currently no laws in Australia requiring boards to fill seats with women directors. In Norway 35.5% of boards contain women directors which is the highest percentage in the world.

@9DXR7GG1yr1Y
No but the diversity statistics of the board should be publicly available and displayed as a visual indication
@9LXVFS87mos7MO
No firstly board members should be the most qualified, regardless of agenda, and the government should never require the diversity of private businesses.
@9L53BVX8mos8MO
No, but rely on the social justice movements to pressure businesses to have women on their board of directors
@9J46KB210mos10MO
Whilst diversity shouldn’t be forced, provide regulations that reduce gender discrimination in the workplace.

@8H5GXLH4yrs4Y
No, the government and businesses should encourage and strive for diversity, but not enforce it
@967Y2SW2yrs2Y
No, the best people for the job should be allocated the position whether that be man, women or other.
@9353BBF3yrs3Y
Yes; female quotas, on business board of directors, are essential to gender equality and diversity; to ensure candidates are not overlooked based on gender/sex, which in turn allows for the best candidates to be selected, and is an important factor in creating a safe workplace, for all.
