Abstract

“How to get more women in the boardroom – quotas or disclosures? The debate continues to be unravelled”—this statement and many others expressing similar sentiments have become common, identifying board gender diversity quotas and disclosures as distinctive legal strategies to promote more women directors to boards. While countries adopting board gender quota rules require companies to include a particular percentage of women directors on boards, jurisdictions implementing disclosure rules on board gender diversity require companies to publicly report the gender breakdown in the board. Key characteristics are common to both approaches, although there are some variations in different jurisdictions. This chapter analyses the regulatory approaches adopted on board gender diversity with the overarching aim of identifying which approach would be better suited for Sri Lanka.
