Given that women participate in the labor force in roughly the same proportion as men, why do you
think women occupy so few seats on boards of directors?

As we can see, women employees have the capabilities of what men workers are competent of doing. In
my perception as a practicum trainee final summer, my subject company has more female engineers
compared to male engineers and the one sitting within the presidency is additionally a female. In any
case, in common, there's still gender diversification within the organizations that do not depend on the
physical and mental capacity of employees. The expectations for women within the line of business is
lower compared to men since the society has so numerous expectations for women inside the house
such as raising the children. As we see at the labor code of the Philippines, there are articles for women
since the law protects women compared to men, which I think one of the reasons why there are few
seats accessible for ladies.

2. Do you agree with the quotas established in many EU countries? Why or why not?

Yes, I stand with the cites that EU countries have established since it is high time for one to stand up and
represent women. It is unethical for men to ignore women since both of them are rise to and thus, what
men can do, ladies can similarly do them. With respect, there is a need to set a certain percent of seats
for women to take at the board of directors. These board quotas present an initiative that appropriately
reflects the change in dynamics between men and women in the workplace. Lastly, I believe that we
should all be selected on the basis of our qualities and capabilities, we should never depend on one’s
gender.
