Women in the boardroom

Article Abstract:

Women make up almost half the workforce in the United Kingdom, and nearly one-third of managers, but they still do not find sufficient representation in company boardrooms, with less than 9% of FTSE 100 companies having women on their boards. The situation in the UK and other countries is examined, together with action taken by some organizations to get women into senior positions.
