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 ?

Although

over half of the

employees

are women, most of the chief executive officers are men. Some individuals believe that companies should provide an exact number of high-level positions for women.

This

essay totally disagrees with

this

statement because it is

gender

discrimination and makes other

employees

burn out.  The primary reason why

this

policy should not be implemented is that everyone, regardless of

gender

, should have equal opportunities for career advancement. 

Employees

should focus on using their dominant and flawless work to prove that they deserve to be in a higher position, not because of their

gender

. To illustrate, the cosmetics company in Bangkok selects its chief by evaluating his performance. 

Therefore

, it is possible for the only man in the company to get into

this

position. The

second

 main reason why it is unacceptable to distribute a certain percentage of the executive officers to one 

gender

 is that it lessens the effectiveness of other

employees

' performance. It cannot be denied that if they are aware that there are fewer opportunities for them to advance to higher-level positions, they will lose enthusiasm for their work, which will affect their abilities in the future.

For example

, in the fashion industry, designers seem to be more alert when competing with each other to take

first

place.  In conclusion,

this

essay believes that the allocation of higher positions should not be based on

gender

 because it is unfair to another unselected

gender

and it reduces the efficiency of other people at the same time.
