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 require to allocate a certain percentage of these position to women. Do you agree?

Many nations have known a significant development in integrating

women

into the work field, particularly in developed countries where more than half of the workforce are

females

,

however

, leading occupations are still dominated by men. Some people hold that

companies

should provide a fixed quota for

women

in these kinds of positions. In my view, I don't agree with

this

statement because people should be judged based on their skills and experience ,not on their

gender

.

Women

have strongly proved themselves in many fields that were previously restricted to men which allowed them to play a pivotal role in the workspace in different countries worldwide, Still, we rarely see

females

in senior positions which led some people to suggest that

companies

should allocate a certain percentage to

women

in order to achieve equality and ensure that

females

and males have the same opportunities.

For example

, female employees will be protected from any discrimination if a fixed quota is introduced.

Consequently

, a pleasant work environment would be created when

gender

balance in management and senior levels are assured.

However

, I believe that high-level positions should be allocated based on the person's qualification, developed experience and polished skills and not on sexes.

In other words

,

companies

would be obliged to fulfil the percentage even though no suitable

females

are available for the post.

For instance

, female employees will become seniors

although

they still lack the necessary knowledge which can be detrimental to the business.

Therefore

, there are many reasons why

gender

shouldn't be a characteristic when choosing candidates. In conclusion, while many developed countries have considerable working

women

rates, still, the leading occupations are mostly occupied by men,

hence

,

companies

are being required to allocate some of them to

females

. I oppose and argue that

gender

should not matter if skills and experience are prioritised.
