How many years after the Norway legislation did it take to measure the outcome? Can you cite any definitive studies on that? (other than https://www.economist.com/business/2018/02/17/ten-years-on-from-norways-quota-for-women-on-corporate-boards https://www.economist.com/business/2018/02/17/ten-years-on-f... "Ten years on from Norway’s quota for women on corporate boards: Gender quotas at board level in Europe have done little to boost corporate performance or to help women lower down")
As to the California state law 2018/SB826 ('Women on Boards'), IIRC part of the reason the state acted was out of frustration that federal legislation on this topic had not happened despite years of discussion.
- einarfd 4y agoYou are right that on the economically side the reporting and research, indicates that there is no measurable difference on economical performance between before and after law. But before the law was introduced there was worry that an influx of unexperienced women would undermine profitability, which did not happened. The positive, (as seen from most Norwegians view), is that there are now more powerful women in Norwegian industry and private sector. This is obviously an ideological view, and if you view more women in powerful position as of no or negative value. Then it isn't a positive for you.
