Should businesses be required to have women on their board of directors?
No, board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender
While evidence suggests that businesses are more profitable if they have more women on their board (https://businessnz.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Women-on-Boards.pdf) it doesn’t necessarily provide proof that this is so.
However women and men do have different perspectives, strengths, and weaknesses so it’s important that all are given equal opportunities. Neither should be favoured or given advantages on the basis of their gender. Therefore I believe that a natural selection of talent is best.
