Despite evidence that gender-diverse boards demonstrate stronger relative performance, women remain underrepresented on boards of directors in Canada. The Conference Board of Canada, working with the Canadian Board Diversity Council, concluded that at the current rate of progress, women would not reach proportional general representation on FP500 boards before the turn of the next century!
Each chapter of Perspectives on Board Diversity is written by leading researchers in the areas of governance and diversity. Each addresses a specific question on this contemporary topic and suggests practices to encourage effective gender and board diversity in Canada. The pros and cons of a quota or “comply or explain” regime are also discussed.
