While many people in Central Europe praised the Norwegian quota for women as a huge success (will including also from pattern poodle Thomas Gesterkrampf ), the Norwegians are not themselves excited about this state feminist totalitarianism. Thus, complaints of so-called "golden skirts" - around 70 women in Norway who have pulled over 300 executive position under the nail. It is no surprise that an inappropriate government action to abuse and self-enrichment out - after all, there are simply not enough qualified and willing women to a rigid, unrealistic rate at all reasonable to be able to meet.
than a third of the companies in Norway have already changed the legal form to escape the quota constraint can see how this Danish article describes ( German translation with google translator , should not work the link simply copy the link inside the Danish articles and translate from Danish to German make).
addition to the main argument that quotas for women men discriminate solely on their sex, contradicting true equality, there are countless other arguments against quotas for women . Also in the WikiMANNia find detailed and documented with sources criticized quotas for women. Even Bundeskanzlerein Merkel is against quotas for women by law. The broad rejection of feminist Zwängerei is no wonder, because quotas for women than the effects corrected, but not the causes . In general, the criticism massaged to quotas for women - especially for men, since women seem to be interested in the subject hardly .

Norway's quotas for women
Even the Northerners now doubt the penalty rates. The oil-rich country but can not afford experiments.
Nina Merethe Andersen is a woman who does not mince his words. Except when it comes to the percentage of women in her native Norway. Then she suddenly puts each word on the pan. Those who are critical of the prestige experiment external states, Andersen, was regarded as disloyal. She is safe, "Norway would encourage the rate of women, more often to follow the career path. But we have chosen the wrong path. "
Andersen is not anyone. Almost a decade she was one of the few women in Norway who had in the economy quite make it up. Nine years she served as CEO of a large international trading company until she got out and on her own. Today it is headhunter, provides men and women in top positions. "You think to this day, women are disadvantaged in the workplace," says Andersen. You yourself have never experienced, and ¬ it was there any evidence for it. The mid-forties locates the reason for the absence of women in leadership positions elsewhere. "A top manager is like a top athlete, he has to focus and can not have everything, a career, children and friends." Many women therefore decided voluntarily to the career. Andersen himself had decided ¬ aware at the time against children.
all things, a husband, a conservative was this that brought the Norwegians the quota. Ansgar Gabrielsen, the then Minister of Economic Affairs announced in 2002 the largest-circulation newspaper interview, that causes anger: He called for more women to boards of directors, if necessary by law. Business and the employers were storm. Where should we take so many competent women? And how can the State presume to interfere in the business policies of such companies? But of all the protest did not help. In November 2003, Norway adopted as the first country in the world, a quota law on state enterprises and for all listed companies, 500 now in number
Norway is regarded as a kind woman ¬ Wonderland. All listed companies meet the quota of forty percent. The Aufsichtsrätinnen are on average younger and better educated than their male counterparts, as a survey of the SPD-affiliated German Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung revealed. While the average age of male directors between fifty and sixty years of lies, lies that of women between forty and fifty. Nearly eighty percent of women are employed, the birth rate still at record levels. Norwegian women have 1.8 children on average, in Switzerland it is only 1.5. For each child aged one year and there is a nursery place. "Both from the public debate as well as from interviews with executives from the industry show," concludes a study by the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, "the odds that ¬ is accepted law in general." The success stories provoked imitators.
Not enough talent?
Already France has adopted a mandatory percentage of women on the boards of twenty percent from 2014 and from 2017 it should be forty percent. In the Netherlands companies are more than 250 employees by 2016 the boards and management teams have at least thirty percent women. Also in Spain there is a scheme under which larger companies have 2015 accounts for forty percent of women have. With so much regulation ¬ zeal must not be missing the EU. EU Commissioner Viviane Reding has already signaled that they will be involved with the issue.
The heated debates abroad also spur Swiss politicians and the media on a regular basis to discuss the meaning or otherwise of a women's quota. However, so far without ¬ resounding political success. 2009, a motion of the green National Councillor Catherine Prelicz-Huber, demanding a 40 per cent quota on the boards of companies with more than 200 employees was rejected by the Bundesrat.
Many want what Norway has. But the model is at all desirable? Are the achievements sustainable? Or are the feminist ideological sham operated?
"for failure to meet the quota" sSeit, as the ¬ "If companies have to be forced by penalties that women sit on the boards, can not be seen as a success." The penalty is difficult to reconcile with ¬ a supposedly free market.
The sociologists Aagoth Storvik and Mari Teigen, also from the Institute for Social Research in Oslo to criticize another hoped-for, but not development occurred: Only two percent of companies listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange companies have a CEO. The most senior positions in major companies are only open to ten percent of women. This becomes obvious that the rate of sustainable economic world is changing. The reasons for this are unclear. It may be that other women do not follow suit, except that the talent pool is too small in Norway, or that the development vonstattengeht very slowly. Also in the implementation of the quota for women, there are still problems. "Many companies, especially in the technology sector or the petroleum industry have a hard time at all to find women," argues Svein Oppegaard, Director of Labor Policy of the Norwegian employers' association NHO. He still does not speak of whether they were qualified or not. In principle, he notes that "those women who are available, can often show little experience in the executive sphere. And it is the ¬ would be important. "
" Golden Skirts "instead of" Old Boys "
Kristin Clemet go with the odds even harder to court. The quiet woman with blonde hair and alert eyes officiated 2001-2005 as Minister of Education and Research. Her department had to develop and implement the quota. For the Government had been easy to implement this law, she says, the company had problems with it. "What would not admit the business leaders, of course," according to the current head of a think-tank in Oslo.
bothers them most, the fact the State to intervene in such a private company. That the politicians own interests were involved, of which she is convinced. "The politicians," says Clemet, this law had passed since it was a good PR campaign for Norway and for themselves. "Politicians love those gigs," says Clemet. "Distract you from the real problems from." And also had the women elected their own jobs created in the event they resign from politics. combine Between ten and twenty percent of the female board members today about 300 directorships up. Her nickname, "Golden Skirts", most of them former ministers. "Instead of the old-boys network, the mutually sponsored, put a stop, "says Andersen," we now have women's clubs. "
U acclaimed for the company," Many studies have attempted to show that more women "out in the company to higher profits, says Vibeke Heidenreich. But their findings were not secured. It is certain: No other country has the world recession ¬ survived so well as Norway. Whether this is due to the women, like many Norwegians is satisfied or the oil in the North Sea, which has made the sparsely populated country is rich and ¬ outshines all other industries, such Svein Oppegaard is safe, is unclear. The fact is that it is Norway can afford thanks to its raw material reserves to bother with his economic coercive measures and quotas.
