Astrid's recent research found a positive impact of employee representation before the gender quota reform on gender diversity. Secondly, it also discovered that although the Norwegian gender quota has increased the probability of a director being female, the effect through employee representation has relatively decreased after the implementation of the reform.
Astrid will discuss potential mechanisms and implications for the design of co-determination laws and gender quotas.
This event will be particularly useful for those interested in gender diversity.
This is a hybrid event and you can attend either in-person or online.
