Question of the Week | Can't answer the question in your email? Click here to view as web page before commenting. | In the United States, 16.6 percent of corporate board members in the United States are female, putting the U.S. behind Western counterparts, including Norway and France, which double the American rate. New laws in those two countries require public companies to have women in 40 percent or more of their board positions, while other countries including Belgium, Germany and Italy, require a 30-percent threshold. Should Massachusetts or the U.S. have a law requiring public companies to have a certain percentage of women on their boards? No. The percentage of female board members is rising quickly enough and will eventually reach an equal balance. Yes. Progress has been too slow and drastic action is needed. No. Companies shouldn't be required to have a percentage of any demographic on their boards Yes. But the law should allow for exceptions and be phased in over a long period of time. | |
