Women are under-represented on the boards of companies in the financial sector. The proportion of women directors is far too small. In the opinion of the report’s author, a better gender balance could possibly have prevented the credit crisis from occurring or at least significantly reduced its impact. According to Michel Ferrary, professor at Ceram in France, women tend to avoid risk and focus more on a long-term perspective. Although I am sceptical about studies of this kind, we must ensure that the proportion of women increases significantly in future.
Women are being harder hit by the crisis than men, as cuts in public spending affect them more directly, in particular in the area of domestic care and motherhood. In addition, the proportion of precarious or part-time work is also much higher. However, I have rejected the report, because it pays too little attention to motherhood from an economic perspective."@en1
