German cabinet approves gender quota law
"After years of debate about its effectiveness, German Chancellor Angela Merkel's cabinet has now approved legislation for more female representation in top boardrooms. If it's passed by parliament the new law will come into effect in 2016. Currently less than one in five members of supervisory boards in Germany is held by a woman."
The new law will require large corporations to have a 30% representation of women in top positions. Follow the link to see the video as it aired today on DW news.
