French plan to force gender equality on boardrooms | World news | The Guardian

French plan to force gender equality on boardrooms | World news | The Guardian:
"In a bill submitted to the French parliament this week, all companies listed on the Paris stock exchange would have to ensure female employees made up 50% of their board members by 2015. If passed, a gradual implementation of the law would see businesses obliged to have women in 20% of board seats within 18 months, and 40% within four years.

Currently 10.5% of CAC 40 board members are female.
