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

In the corporate world, it has been noted that a sizeable amount of high-level positions are filled by men, in spite of the fact that the workforce in a lot of developed nations is more than 50% female. It is believed by some that

While

such

a mandate does not perpetuate the same imbalance it is being put in place to fight. It is important for white-collar organizations, which have long operated with a systemic prejudice against

However

For instance

, in a case where a man is more qualified and skilled to fill an

To conclude
