Abstract

The Companies Act, 2013, mandates the appointment of at least one woman on the board of directors of a company. While it does not mention whether she should be an independent director or not, the legislation creates a reservation based on sex. The paper examines whether and why such a mandate is needed for companies to be gender diverse. It highlights certain problems with the current legislation and provide rectifying measures for the same.
女性进入董事会:这就足够了吗?
2013年的《公司法》规定,公司董事会至少要任命一名女性。虽然没有提到她是否应该成为独立董事,但该立法建立了基于性别的保留。本文探讨了公司是否需要性别多样化的授权,以及为什么需要这样的授权。强调了现行立法存在的问题,并提出了相应的整改措施。
