Report looks at four questions: i) what evidence is there to support the theory that stock market performance is enhanced by having a greater number of women on the board; ii) is there any difference in the financial characteristics of companies with a greater number of women on the board; iii) why might it make a difference (better or worse) to have some gender diversity in company management; and iv) what factors might limit companies from increasing female representation?
