BERLIN (Reuters) - The German minister for women said on Wednesday she hopes the coalition government will soon agree a quota for women on the executive boards of Germany's top listed companies, building on a 30% quota on supervisory boards introduced in 2015.
Franziska Giffey spoke as she presented the government's first equality strategy, which bundles together measures that aim to get more women into leadership roles, narrow the gender pay gap and improve work-life balance.
