2005年,世界经济论坛指出,妇女在世界董事会中只占12%。近年来,人们认为,由于男性在工作环境中的地位不断下降,女性几乎缩小了工作场所的性别差距(Meistera、Sinclaib和Jehnb,2017年)。然而,男性继续得到最高级别的工作,而女性在获得高层职位方面仍然落后。《劳动妇女统计概览》(2016年)提到,在加拿大,妇女在获得高级职位方面的进展停滞不前。这是职业女性面临的一个严重问题。在这种情况下,由于大多数高级职位都由男性担任,许多人认为政府应该鼓励公司为女性保留一定比例的工作岗位。尽管如此,一些公民反对政府敦促企业在这些就业岗位上为女性设定一个特定比例。本文将详细分析政府是否应该鼓励企业为女性保留一定比例的高级职位。 In 2005, The World Economic Forum pointed out that women hold only 12 percent of the board seats in the world. In recent years, it is believed that women have nearly closed the gender gap in the workplace because the position of men in the working environment is declining (Meistera, Sinclairb and Jehnb 2017). However, men continue to get most high level jobs and women still lag in getting top-level positions. The Statistical Overview of Women in The Workforce (2016) mentioned that, in Canada, women's progress in reaching senior positions has stalled. It is a serious problem that career women are faced with. In this case, as most high level jobs are occupied by men, many people think that governments should encourage companies to reserve a certain percentage of these jobs for women. Nonetheless, some citizens are against governments to urge corporations to hold a specific ratio of these employments for females. This essay will analyze in detail whether governments should encourage companies to reserve a certain percentage of high level jobs for women.
