Quoted from article
"In much of western Europe, such efforts follow a decade-long push by governments. In 2008 Norway obliged listed companies to reserve at least 40% of their director seats for women on pain of dissolution. In the following five years more than a dozen countries set similar quotas at 30% to 40%. In Belgium, France and Italy, too, firms that fail to comply can be fined, dissolved or banned from paying existing directors. Germany, Spain and the Netherlands prefer soft-law quotas, with no sanctions. Britain opted for guidelines."
You guys don't even read the article. It's your opinion on the matter, cool. Let's agree to disagree I guess
How does that answer anything? Where did i say quotas are only good or the solution to the problem? I think it would be good for the discussion if you opened the point of the link here in the post. Because one solution to the problem is suboptimal it doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist.
I can't read the whole article, man. The Economist is a borderline ideological publishment if you haven't noticed and an excerpt of it serves just to confirm the preconceptions of potential subscribers. I wouldn't really rely on that for objective consideration (apply's to left wing stuff such as the Guardian, too)
