There is no conspiracy to hold down women. They simply don't have the abilities and aggression of men - as everybody knows. Even with all this special treatment, they still can't make it.
Gender Quotas Have Failed To Pad Out Boardrooms With Women In Germany
april 10 2016 Germany at the start of the year introduced a corporate “women’s quota” obliging its 100 biggest companies to fill at least 30 percent of their supervisory board seats with females.
But for many, including several of the women executives themselves, the new legislation has so far proved something of a “paper tiger”.
“The law is addressing the tip of the iceberg and we need to make sure that we change more than that,” said Belen Garijo, board member at pharmaceuticals specialist Merck KGaA.
Under the law, if women cannot be found to fill 30 percent of supervisory board seats, then those seats must remain empty.
By fixing a quota, Germany is following in the footsteps of Norway, a pioneer in gender equality, and European neighbours such as France, Spain and the Netherlands.
Big companies, and 3,500 small and medium-sized enterprises, must also fix their own voluntary goals for women on their management boards and provide regular updates on the progress they make.
