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. Critics of the law argue this is because it did not contain any enforcement mechanisms and companies are not served penalties for failing to meet the quotas. In Norway 35.5% of boards contain women directors which is the highest percentage in the world.

No se debe obligar a las empresas directamente, en su lugar habría bonificaciones y reducción de sus trámites por internet.
@8TPRPLV3yrs3Y
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.

No hay que obligarles directamente, habría que buscar recursos como bonificaciones o reducir el papeleo manual.
