Most high-level positions in companies are filled by men even though the workforce in many developed countries is more than 50 per cent female. Companies should be required to allocate a certain percentage of these positions to women. To what extent do you agree?

. Taking into consideration the qualifications the women have and their percentage in the workforce it is inevitable that they will have a higher chance to be in high-level positions.

However

nowadays it is more based on

,

for example

, when I was in my previous work my manager had to leave the company leaving only women to take his place. Unfortunately, our boss hired a man from outside the company because he does not believe that women can be managers. Having mixed of male and female in high-level positions can be an eye-opener for new ideas. Women and men have different views, mixing them together can lead to new innovations that were not

For example

, a study held by Harvard University shows that companies who have women in higher positions are most likely to be more creative which lead to more
