Women in the corporate world
There's been a host of reports already this year about the success or otherwise of women in the corporate world
Women on boards
The Women on Boards report by Lord Davies is the one everyone was waiting for. It emphasised the advantages of diverse boards and whilst it didn't go as far as recommending quotas, the demands it makes of listed businesses are still quite rigorous. It blames traditional recruiting methods and old boys' networks for the lack of progress to date and urges companies to look at female leaders from outside strict big corporate backgrounds.
Gender at work
The Institute of Leadership Management's "Gender at Work" study of 3,000 senior managers found that lack of confidence/ambition among women was the main barrier to successful careers.
The centre of policy studies
Meanwhile The Centre of Policy Studies Report by Catherine Hakim caused more than a few howls of protest. She argues that the equal opportunities legislation has worked: only a minority of women want careers above all else and they can and do succeed. Conversely the majority of women want the best of career and family and therefore make compromises. She also, quite compellingly, pours scorn on the success of the Nordic model.
