Abstract

In the annual DIW Women Executives Barometer, we document the share of women on the executive and supervisory boards of the largest companies in Germany. We separately analyse different groups of companies, among which there are the 200 companies with the highest turnover in Germany outside the financial sector (top 200 companies), all companies listed in the German stock index DAX (DAX companies) as well as the four DAX subgroups (DAX-30/40, MDAX, SDAX and TecDax), all companies with federal participation, the 100 largest banks and the 60 largest insurance companies. Moreover, we separately document the share of women on the executive and supervisory boards for companies that have to comply to the gender quota for supervisory boards (since 2016) and the minimum participation requirement for executive boards (since 2022).
