Ownership and roles in industry, 1 January 2008

This rise is mainly explained by the requirements regarding gender balance in boards of public limited companies. In new public limited companies, the proportion of female board members is 39 per cent, whereas it is 15.5 per cent in new private limited companies.

6.5 per cent of all private limited companies have only female board members, and 72 per cent have only men represented in their boards. The bigger the board, the higher is the proportion of both female and male board members.
