The commission will then decide on further action later this year. There is no mention of quotas yet, but the consultation document seems to be paving the road to them. Only 13.7% of board members of large firms in the EU are women, up from 8.5% in 2003. Female presidents and chairwomen are even rarer: just 3.2% of the total now, compared with 1.6% in 2003. Women account for 60% of new graduates in the EU, and enter many occupations in roughly equal numbers with men. But with every step up the ladder more of them drop out, and near the top they almost disappear. Plenty of research suggests that companies with lots of women in senior positions are more successful than those without (even if there is no proof of a causal relationship). So it seems to make sense to get more women on boards. Some experts think that the whole debate about the composition of boards is something of a distraction from the main problem: that so few women reach the upper echelons of management from which board members are typically drawn. McKinsey, a consultancy which has been making the business case for more women in senior management jobs for some years, has just come out with a new study of 235 large European companies which shows that most of them take the issue seriously.
