This number has not changed much over the past few years. ![]() This was the conclusion reached by the German Startups Association in its Female Founders Monitor 2020. Of everyone who has founded a startup in Germany, only around 16 per cent are women. For instance let’s take a look at the startup sector: in that environment, as a female startup founder – with a migration background – I’m clearly in the minority. I find that I am also represented far too sparsely elsewhere in the workplace, including outside female supervisory and management boards. Personally I can only welcome this decision. For this reason, supporters of the quota now consider this impact on management – significant though it is – to be politically justified. That’s why the quota has been introduced, because it’s effective: there’s already been a mandatory female quota of 30 per cent since 2016 for supervisory boards. Companies have not succeeded in promoting more women to senior roles with the voluntary system. To be specific: if there are more than three members of the management board, at least one of them must be a woman. In future, the boardrooms of listed companies will have to become more female. But work is being done at many levels to increase the presence of women. ![]() The German economy is still heavily male-dominated. ![]()
