You're basically describing affirmative action or quotas. They worked successfully in the Nordic countries to improve the gender ratios over there. The Navy did it with great success. Many companies do it including First Horizon that's near me which tries to stay half and half.
This can work but essentially you have to either make it law or convince the VC's to do it willingly. Those are big political problems that would take a lot of targeted work done right. If it can be done at all.
- AnthonyMouse 9y agoThe problem with quotas is that it isn't that kind of problem. It isn't predominantly that qualified women are applying and being turned away because of gender discrimination, it's that industry-wide the number of qualified women necessary for an even gender balance do not exist. They went to school for teaching or medicine or real estate and the 17 year old girls deciding which college program to apply to are still doing the same thing.
