gender representation on corporate boards of directors
Gender representation on corporate boards of directors refers to the proportion of men and women who occupy board member positions. Globally, men occupy more board seats than woman. This disproportionality is being addressed in various ways by both governments and corporations.
== Equality of Treatment ==
The desire of governments and corporations to reduce the disproportionality on corporate boards is rooted in the principle of equality of treatment. Equality of treatment requires that all people be treated equally, regardless of societal prejudices. Equality of treatment may mean either equality of opportunity or equality of outcome, with the former being the preferred interpretation by many Governments.
Many countries have opted to pursue this principle through their constitution or through various forms of legislation. For example, in Canada, section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees equality rights, which includes gender equality. Similar legislation relating to equality can be found in other jurisdictions, including the Equality Act 2010 in the United Kingdom. Generally countries that adopt board gender quotas tend to have several pre-conditions: female labor market and gendered welfare state provisions, left-leaning political government coalitions, and path dependent policy initiatives for gender equality, both in the public realm as well as in the corporate domain.〔Terjesen, S., Aguilera, R., & Lorenz, R. 2015. “Legislating a Woman’s Seat on the Board: Institutional Factors Driving Gender Quotas for Boards of Directors.” Journal of Business Ethics. 128(2): 233-251.
