Should businesses be required to have women on their board of directors?

Women of merit should be appointed to the boards which should eventually reach 50% . But women should not just be appointed because they are women .

Only if there is discrimination in the business. If everyone is equal and it just happened that all board members were male, that's fine and vice versa (and anyone else no matter what they identify as!)

Only if that gender is underrepresented

No but the government should do more to encourage diversity in the workplace - overall diversity, not just women.

10-15 per cent quota

Private Business should be abolished, and capitalism altogether done away with

No, but if there is no diversity on the board, they should be required to demonstrate why it isn't necessary

No, changing the environment so that women are equally likely to end up on the board is more important

Yes, but the women should be employed for their skills and qualifications, not just to fill the role of a female staff member

Yes, but the requirement should only be according to the ratio of male to female employees within the organisation

Yes, but equal opportunities should be offered by interviewing a demographic based on a reflection of the population and ultimately the best person for the job should be hired

Women can give insights men don't have

No, but the government should require workplace diversity in general and have ways of dealing with abuses

If there are 2 people equally qualified and need a diversity hire. There

I am against private enterprise

I would like if they had women but it is not for the law to enforce

No, but tax those who do not at a higher rate.

Not required, but not discriminated against to the point of actually having none on the board.

But only if there are deemed to have the correct skills experience and aptitude for the position

No but diversity should be strongly encouraged

They can and cant it doesnt matter what gender as long as they arent excluding a certain gender

Sometimes they should bring in a woman who has experienced it. For issues like abortion.

Yes and they should also be required to have black women represented on every board

Board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender, but some checks to ensure that discrimination does not take place may be necessary

It shouldn’t be required, but it shouldn’t be that a woman can’t be a director at all

Yes, if anyone is qualified for the job they deserve to have the job

This is a neoliberal take more should be done rather than focus on representation on a board

No, but it should be a requirement for government funding, subsidies, or contracts.

No, though more woman should be encouraged to run for such positions.

They should base it on skill not gender or race

They should hire based on skill not gender

Yes, but at the same time, we should not have boards of directors

No, but they should be required to promote diversity through initiatives etc

No, but companies should do more to promote equality, and encourage women to strive for leadership positions.

no businesses, they are oppressive forces

Yes but only if they are fully qualified and until there is more of a balance in high-up positions

No, just like men should not be required to be on a board of directors, it just doesn't make sense.

No, people should be hired on their qualifications and skills, not their gender or race

Yes, and the government should do more to require diversity in the workplace however board members should be the most qualified as possible
