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

Depends on the competency

No, board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender, but pay and other benefits should be equal among male and female board members of the same rank

That is decision of a company if they want. Because, everyone deserves to be a part of board of directors regardless of your gender.

No, why required? the most qualified people should be in the board of directors, People with the ability to be in there should be in the board of directors, it should be by skill not gender

it's up to them

If they are both just as qualified and one is a woman or other minority then pick the woman. If the man is more qualified then pick the man.

Yes, so long as they meet the proper experience and background checks

I think that businesses should let women be on the board of directors, but it doesn't have to be required.

It should not be a requirement, however, diversity should be encouraged.

It should be representative of the business' employees and clientele. If it is a company made up of only men and the clientele is specifically male, then no.

No, not necessarily required but they should have gender equality at all levels.

there should be no discrimination between gender, but the most qualified should be the one holding any position no matter gender or what the position is

I don't think it should be required, it should be expected to have a diverse board of directors.

Yes, as long as the person is qualified

No, shouldn’t be required to have a women on board.

No, positive discrimination is still discrimination. Forced diversity is insincere and not at all reflective of the internal operations of businesses. Board members should always be the most qualified regardless of anything else.

while I am in full support of diversity and incorporating more women into businesses and women having higher positions, I think someone should be hired based on if they are qualified or not.

Should not be required. However, women should gets judged the same as men based on qualifications when filling these positions.

No, businesses should be able to be solely either gender if desired.

No, but reward boards that are diverse.

No, I support equality of opportunity not equality of outcomes. People hired/promoted should be the most qualified regardless of gender.

No, but they should be incentivized to have women on the board.

No company should have a board

It should be incentivized by the market because of the diverse board's ability to acquire more consumers.

Not require it but hire more women.

regardless corporations should be collectivized

No, but businesses should hire more women.

No, but women should have an equal chance to men and we must do more to challenge gender discrimination.

Yes, but they should be qualified for the position and not included simply because they're a woman

No, they should be democratically elected

Any department that the business cannot be without for a week (or without a serious backlog of things to do) should be represented on their boards of directors. It's called workplace democracy.

There should be affirmative action for women & minorities the same way it usually works, which would ensure both that there would be women on boards AND that board members would be the most qualified regardless of gender...

who's on the board should only be based on experience and ability

I think that the board members should have people who deserve it regardless of gender, race, sexuality, and whatnot but, I do think that there should be more female board members.

No, but we need to increase education and job opportunities for women and minorities so they have a level playing field. Naturally, they will fall into leadership positions as long as we lift the restrictions they have.

No, We should defiantly encourage it using social programs, but we cannot force it

No, but more should be done to encourage diversity

there should be more representation of women leaders but they shouldn't be picked just based on gender

No a women should educate children as well as work in the home and community not worry themselves with the cooperate world

No a women should educate children as well as work in the home and community not worry themselves with Jobs outside the home

No, as forced diversity for its own sake does not actually show that a company is progressive.

Yes, for companies of fifteen employees or more.

No a woman's place is at home being the main educator of her children

It would probably be better if they do.

Indifferent because men and women should be shown equally.

No, businesses should only be allowed to appoint straight cis-males to their board of directors

No, but give marginalized groups more opportunities to advance in their job

Women should not be allowed in the board of directors. These are stressful jobs better handled by men.

No, but if a man OR woman has the capability to be on the board of directors they should.

No, companies should appoint whomever is most qualified, regardless of gender

It doesn't have to be required, but it should definitely be allowed.

yes, especially when dealing with women's rights.

No but they should have some without being required.

No, but there must be a diverse selection committee to be sure that the business does not become patriarchal.

No, but the government should work to fight workplace discrimination in other ways

1. It depends on the business 2. The larger the business, the more diversity required.

It is up to the business.

if women have the ability to serve in that board.

yes, if they earn the spot and the same goes for a male

Yes if they're qualified for the job

No, position in a company should be based on experience and qualifications, not gender

No, but they should willingly have women on their board of directors

No, but they should willingly let women on their board of directors

No, but they should willingly allow women on their board of directors

The presence of women does not itself effect equality

Any Board of Directors should have an independent minority advisory board to make sure all cultures are being respected.

Yes Only with hard work and effort.

No, let them choose the gender mix (or lack thereof), and let them reveal the degree of commitment to diversity, so that potential customers and clients can choose whether or not to do business with them accordingly.

Replace boards of directors with directly elected workers' councils

No, but more should be done to incentivize businesses to diversify their board of directors and workplace

yes and no it really just depends on how they do there job.

Yes, but only because the current opportunity for men and women to elevate themselves in the workplace and is unequal, favoring men. Once this and the campaign for equal pay is resolved, then it is not necessary.

It’s whatever the business wants

No a woman's place is at home being an educator of her children

Yes, but only if the woman is undeniably qualified.

depends on the job and if they are qualified for the job

Yes, if they are a publicly owned and traded company.

Yes, and businesses should also be required to have non-binary individuals on their board of directors

no but thy should try to diversify their business as it would probably help them

No, and any business that receives any kind of government funding or benefits should be required to have only heterosexual cisgender male Christians on their board of directors.

No, but businesses should diversify anyway.

No, but both genders should be given equal opportunity if they qualify for the position

No, they should require hypospadias men

Board members should be democratically elected representatives by the workers.

The government cannot mandate a gender ratio for private companies, but it can and should encourage gender diversity by mandating increased transparency in hiring and employment at all levels.
