Sukupuolikiintiöt Norjassa

[kohmelo]

Saksassa on vellonut keskustelu yritysten johtokuntien sukupuolikiintiöistä.
Der Spiegel selvitti asiaa: Norjassa on vuodesta 2006 asti ollut sukupuolikiintiöt käytössä. Aikoinaan niitä ylistettiin valtavana askeleena eteenpäin. Nyt tutkijat eivät olekaan varauksettoman yksimielisiä asiasta.
