International
Norway skirts the boards29 June 2009
Should the UK set a quota for women in board rooms like Norway?

Since January 2008 publicly listed Norwegian companies have been obliged by law to ensure at least 40% of their board members are female? What has been the effect? Is government intervention on gender issues the best way to create real change in the corporate world? And could such a program ever work in the UK? To discuss the issues Jane is joined by Dianah Worman: Advisor on Diversity Issues at the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development andJorunn Okland, Professor of Gender Studies at the University of Oslo.
