Optimizing Board Effectiveness with Gender Diversity

WB discussion paper on gender diversity on corporate boards

World Bank discussion paper explores whether quotas are the solution to underrepresentation by women on corporate boards of directors. Cites evidence that quotas can lead to tokenism, diminish overall value of diversity on boards, affect board dynamics, and potentially lead to diluted commitments from existing female board directors. Instead, recommends that companies take a holistic approach toward improving board nominating criteria and processes, developing female middle and senior management talent, and ensuring positive dynamics among diverse board members.
