Should businesses be required to have women on their board of directors?
board members should be the most qualified regardless of what their gender or sex is.
However, the issue lies in the fact that women, despite being equally qualified, are often overlooked for board positions. For instance, a study by Harvard Business Review found that women are less likely to be considered for board positions, even when they have the same qualifications as men. This suggests that biases, even if unconscious, are at play. If requirements were put in place, it could correct this imbalance.
