English term or phrase: gender quota targets
Possible explanatory factors for this diversity of approaches

* the general cultural and societal features and differences in welfare systems;

* the different weight – if any at all - given to the various normative justifications for a more balanced representation of women and men on company boards:

o The economic, business case argument, underscoring the business need for more gender balanced boards from the perspective of an improved performance of companies, enhanced corporate social responsibility and engagement in modern stakeholder management;
o The individual, equal opportunities justification, underscoring that addressing the power imbalance in corporate management is simply a matter of individual fairness;
o The societal, public interest and fundamental rights justification, underlining the importance of balanced representation from the more general perspective of ensuring social justice and democratic legitimacy.

The latter two justifications have played an important role in the countries that moved towards a more stringent, hard quota law approach. In the countries that have not taken specific action or opted for a co- and/or self-regulatory approach, the balance is tilted more towards protection of ownership and corporate freedom, than towards ensuring gender equality in corporate management.

* the possible legal – even constitutional – limits to the use of gender quota targets or rules (e.g. Germany). By contrast, in Norway there was already a longer gender quota tradition as observed above.

* legal tradition and culture; in some (liberal) countries there is more of a self-regulation tradition and emphasis on de-regulation rather than regulation of business in the light of global competition (e.g. the UK, Sweden). In other countries there is more a tradition of state interference with market mechanisms through public regulation and the introduction of social policies as the state also assumes more a redistributive role (e.g. Norway, France, Italy, Germany).
