“More than ever, we need to turn our country’s tremendous pool of female human capital, still underexploited, into a card to play in the game of development, competitiveness and social wellbeing.” This is how the two MPs, Lella Golfo, from Berlusconi’s freedom party (Pdl) and Alessia Mosca, from the democratic party (Pd) presented their bill on “equal representation on boards.” The bill is directly based on the Norwegian system. Indeed, after the quota passed, the number of women on boards went up to 40% (see our dispatch No. 100065).
The bill forcing listed companies to have at least 30% of women on their boards, developed by two MPs, one from the majority and the other from the opposition, received a favorable opinion from the government, which should make its approval quicker, unless the government collapses first.
