Policy Regulations. The debates around the most suitable legal instruments to promote gender equality persist. In the meanwhile, several policy measures can be considered when trying to have gender balance on corporate boards. The measures vary in terms of radicalism and the way in which gender balance is achieved, it ranges from soft to binding regulations. The type of regulation has a significant impact on the proportion of women on boards (Appendix 2). In several countries, gender diversity is highly encouraged but not mandatory. A soft law is introduced and appears in the guidelines for good corporate governance (▇▇▇▇▇, 2014). Through voluntary initiatives and corporate governance codes, firms aim to convince to increase the number of women on board but it should be kept in mind that guidelines are not always followed which leads to a quite weak effect (▇▇▇▇▇, 2014). The implementation of a system of ‘comply or explain’ is also a mean to induce change. This type of regulation requires companies to disclose their gender diversity policies and targets as well as the proportions of men and women at executive and board level. If the listed company does not disclose the information, it must explain the reason for it. Therefore, many countries introduce guidance, soft laws or ‘comply and explain’ systems while other countries have no regulation at all which prevents the country from progressing in gender diversity. Binding regulations are another type of regulation which has been implemented in many countries to tackle the gender inequality problem. Most of the countries introduced mandatory gender quotas to lead to more diversification and to promote career progression of women towards the top. It implies that if the measure is not met, consequences and sanctions will follow. Governments believe political intervention is essential for women to move up the corporate ladder and that the use of a mandatory quota is a way to help to narrow the gender gap on corporate boards. 1.2.1. The Norwegian case In 2003, Norway was the pioneer country to adopt a law on gender quotas aimed at reducing gender inequality on corporate boards. The Norwegian gender quota law required that all boards of directors of listed companies should have at least a 40% proportion of women in the board within a five-year period (▇▇▇▇▇, 2014). The sanctions for non-compliance with regulations compromised fines or even firm liquidation (▇▇▇▇▇, 2014). The implementation of the gender quota law ensured rapid progr...
