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, but they should incentivize businesses to include diversity on their board of directors
@8Z5WKMV3yrs3Y
Si, y incentivar a los que lo hagan.
@8TPXLMX4yrs4Y
No se debe obligar a las empresas directamente, en su lugar habría bonificaciones y reducción de sus trámites por internet.
@8TPRPLV4yrs4Y
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.
@8TPH3D44yrs4Y
No hay que obligarles directamente, habría que buscar recursos como bonificaciones o reducir el papeleo manual.
@8TMTTDC4yrs4Y
Must be gender parity and diversity, but only for large corporations

Competence should be the main drive for This movement, having more diversity does not mean that the women assigned to the should are competent to the role. This should be judge on the person hard work and competence
