According to the annual female index of Andra AP-fondens (2nd national pension fund), published on June 4, the share of women on the boards of listed companies has increased for the first time in 3 years. These good results can come from a change in mindsets – even among unions themselves – but also from the fear that the government will legislate and define quotas.
Assessing results. Women account for 24.7 percent of board members as opposed to 22.2 percent in 2010. More generally speaking, the general share of women with management/supervisory positions has increased, from 13.8 percent in 2010 up to 18.4 percent in 2014. The number of female board members has also slightly increased, from 4.3 percent in 2013 to 4.8 percent in 2014, and the number of female CEOs has gone from 5.5 to 5.6 percent.
