In 2007 the Spanish government passed a diversity law requiring boards to fill 40% of their directorships with women. Since the law passed many analysts have observed that the percentage of women on board of directors has actually declined.

Si, pero habría que reducir el sistema burocrático por uno online y bonificar a las empresas para tomar esta decisión. También reducir costes de despido y costes de contratación.
