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. Do you agree?

It is argued by some people that companies need to allocate a certain

percentage

of high-level positions to women

workforce

. The main reason behind

this

thinking is that nowadays, in most of the developed countries top-level positions are occupied by men

although

female constitutes more than half of the

workforce

.

This

essay does not agree with that argument because it has many negative consequences.

This

essay will

firstly

discuss how fixing the

percentage

of

workforce

for women leads to the lower level of a company’s growth and

secondly

, discuss the fact that females cannot do all types of job. Companies should not distribute a fixed

percentage

of high-level positions to female because these positions must be filled up with people, who have merits.

In other words

, organizations should

first

look at the capability and intelligence during the time of recruitment and promotion rather than the gender of candidates. If companies do not take action based on the merit,

then

incompetent people cannot help to achieve companies' goal and maybe the cause of failure.

This

can be illustrated by the fact that the Bengal Meat company fixed the

percentage

of the

workforce

to women in 2009 and faced a drastic fall in sales. Companies should not allocate a certain proportion of the top positions for women because the female cannot work in every job sector. There are some industries, where lots of physical industriousness are required that can be only possible by men.

For instance

, in the mining industry, from top to bottom level employees work in the field and due to the nature of the job no woman is interested to do work in

this

industry. In conclusion,

this

essay does not support the idea that companies should allocate a

percentage

of high-level positions to female because

this

decision can lead to the decline in the company’s growth and female cannot cope up in every workplace.
