Gender Equality and Policy Implementation in the Corporate World
takes a unique approach to the issue of gender equality in
corporations in the 21st century. It examines the implementation of
specific policies that seek to promote women's presence on
corporate boards in 15 democracies in Western and Central Eastern
Europe, North America, and Australasia through the lens of the
Gender Equality Policy in Practice Approach. The thirteen
empirically rich country chapters by leading country experts and
two separate comparative chapter answer core questions. How were
policies adopted and implemented? Did they achieve any degree of
success that would allow for real and lasting equality? What were
the politics of the pursuit of corporate gender equality across the
15 countries? What worked and did not work and why? What are the
lessons to be drawn from these experiences? The findings of the
book show that policy implementation does matter, but that in this
last bastion of male domination, policies have had more success in
increasing women's numbers over challenging gender-biased norms
that block women of all cultural and socio-economic backgrounds
from gaining real power on boards. The path-breaking study shows
that the reasons for this slow change are highly complex and case
specific, in the details of each policy mix. While progress has
been slow in coming, it has still been made even in these
challenging times. Future policy success, the book concludes, is in
the hands of men and women willing to come forward to overcome
these well entrenched obstacles.
