Getting more women into the corporate boardroom has been a high priority governance issue for several years globally.
While there has been progress, has it been enough?
According to data from MyLogiq, 30% of corporate directors are female for the companies in the Dow 30, while only 23% are female for companies in the Russell 3000 index.
Deloitte reports that women only hold 16.9% of board seats globally even though between 2008 and 2015, 32 countries enacted some type of boardroom gender quota.
As a macro benchmark, the World Bank estimated that 50.52% of America’s population and 49.58% of the global population was female in 2018. Deloitte’s research reports that Norway and France come closest to these percentages, with female directors comprising 41% and 37% of the boardroom.
