Corporate Germany is on the cusp of a gender revolution after Chancellor Angela Merkel ’s government adopted a bill on Thursday that will dramatically increase the number of women in the top echelons of the country’s mightiest corporations. The bill, which is now moving to Parliament for final approval, will require large listed companies to fill 30% of their supervisory board seats with female non-executive directors and force thousands of large and midsize businesses to set binding targets for women top managers...I am convinced that we will set in motion a cultural change and that this law is a historic milestone for more equality between women and men in this country, Manuela Schwesig, family minister and main sponsor of the bill, told a news conference. - The Wall Street Journal Thoughts?
