German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she’s losing patience with the failure of corporate boards to increase the participation of women.
“With more women than men taking their final school exams, more women than men successfully completing their studies, nobody can tell me that not even roughly as many women as men can take over management responsibility,” Merkel said today at a conference of her Christian Democratic Union party in Hanover, Germany. “This can’t be explained to anybody and that’s why companies are now under pressure to take action.”
