The quota is where a board has more than 3 members then it needs at least 1 woman.<p>The average size of a board is 12 and the current percentage of women on boards is 12%<p>However for companies where the government sits on the board, the ratio is 30%
Is the "Minister for women" a charge common in other countries too? It's the first time I've heard of it and, quite honestly, it sounds pretty weird (albeit I undertand why it's there).<p>I guess some push is needed for this kind of change, as the system is somehow natually fit for status quo.<p>In a perfect world, gender in these matters wouldn't even be part of the discussion at all. These are intellectual, not physical demanding jobs, so the only discriminination should be for one's preparations and ideas anyway.
