No female quotas for new Danish equality model

The Danish government’s new gender equality model contains these elements:

1. The 1,100 largest companies must develop concrete, realistic and ambitious goals for the numbers of the least represented gender in top leadership (boards etc.).
2. The 1,100 largest companies must develop a policy to increase the numbers of the least represented gender in the company’s general leadership positions.
3. The 1,000 largest companies must through their annual report outline the status for their policy and explain how far they have come in achieving their pre-defined goal. Failing to do so could result in fines. 
4. Irrespective of size, all state companies must present goals and develop policies to get more women into leadership positions.
