Confidentiality Clause Will Not Hire

A concrete step for women, the odds on the boards



Per la prima volta, l'Italia potrebbe introdurre il meccanismo delle quote per combattere lòa discriminaizone delle donne sul lavoro: solo per i consigli di amministrazione delle società quotate in borsa o a partecipazione pubblica, ma è pur sempre un inizio . La legge potrebbe esser approvata al Senato in questi giorni, per poi tornare alla Camera. le quote non sono la perfezione, ma un buono strumento pragmatico. Il senso lo spiega Alessia Mosca (che ha co-firmato la proposta di legge) in questa intervista a City.







Women in enough words, now let's do something

member of PD, Alessia Mosca wrote with a colleague of the PDL, the bill to increase the representation of women at the top of companies.

Your odds are not really "rose" ...
We want the board of directors has reserved 30% seats to the less represented gender. Whether it's men or women. The rule will apply only to public companies or semi-public (such as "municipal"),
It is true that almost always are women to be in the minority in plant management.
Oggi nei consigli di amministrazione (i “cda”) delle società quotate le donne sono solo il 7% dei consiglieri. In quelle municipalizzate meno del 2%.
La vostra proposta di legge è “bipartisan”, è stata votata dalla Camera, oggi tocca al Senato: non dovrebbe essere difficile approvarla...
Sì, è co-firmata da me e Lella Golfo del Pdl. Ma se c’è sostegno trasversale, c’è anche ostilità trasversale. Confindustria ha sollevato obiezioni che il governo ha fatto proprie. Abbiamo cercato un compromesso.
Compromesso? Cioè?
Nella nostra proposta la quota riservata sarebbe stata del 30%, da subito e the board of directors for three terms, ie the next nine years. Pena dissolution of the board of directors. Confindustria and the government wanted the thresholds were measured and the penalty just fine. In the end we reached an agreement: the first term of the board of directors will be 20% threshold, the second term, that is, by 2015, rising to 30%.
In any case, the odds are temporary?
Units are designed as a temporary instrument: used to unlock a vicious circle. Businesses today are driven by men, who tend to choose other men. We want to stop this automatically for a period of time sufficient to create a new balance.
What next?
removing the cap and after 9 years, whether women will live will not need to tax legislation.
is often said that if women are not at high levels of the economy because you do not want.
Several studies have shown that women want to do more of what they do, but can not. They would like to have more children and would like to work even with children. But in the absence of public care services, women must take time away from work to care for children. Or spend all their wages in baby sitter.
why many give up on investing at work?
is often a choice "forced" the wage gap between men and career women and is still very high. So, if someone has to give up work, giving up those earning less or have fewer prospects of advancement.
shares are a matter of fairness?
Not only that, a number of studies have evaluated the profits of companies according to the composition of boards of directors. It is seen that the more differentiated and higher is the presence of women, the most improved company results. The interesting thing is that the rule applies only if the women are chosen for their expertise and not for family ties, as "daughters" or "wives".
is up to individual companies to choose well?
certain: there are qualified women. In più questa legge è un grande incentivo. Uno dei problemi del nostro Paese è il rinnovamento della classe dirigente. Se costringiamo le aziende a mettere ai loro vertici il 30% di persone nuove (le donne, che al momento sono fuori) si genera indirettamente un cambio della classe dirigente. Forse è questo che fa davvero paura.
Non si tratta di maschilismo?
Sicuramente c’è un maschilismo diffuso. Ma fa anche molta paura l’idea di dover cedere le leve del comando: chi è già nei luoghi dei poteri si oppone per conservarlo.
In effetti a parole tutti vogliono fare qualcosa per le donne, ma poi quando si tratta di prendere decisioni concrete, le cose cambiano.
Noi we started with this law that affects a very small part of the economy to get in line with other European countries. But also because we think that the cascade could influence other companies, which have a symbolic value greater than "numeric". She
for the average Italian politicians is very young, 35 years, and highly educated (he has a doctorate). What do you think of "tissue" in politics?
There is much discussion of women, but the point is that the same goes for men: there are too many incompetent, political and institutional roles that have no merit, but only because it put there by someone. Time to move.
