Abstract

This research analyzes the problem of gender parity in Argentine business bodies. To address the situation, it is based on an open discussion between the General Inspectorate of Justice of the Nation and the National Chamber of Commerce, due to the requirement of the former on the necessary equal composition in the members of the Administration of a commercial company. This fact is used as a starting point to delve into the question of how much the existing disparity implies—in statistical terms—and how to address it. The “why” of the disparity is not analyzed but understanding its existence (which is demonstrated by reports from various private and state bodies), the best way to generate a change in such compositions is studied, whether through recommendations or mandatory laws. To clear up this doubt, the paths taken in Latin American and European legislation are properly investigated.
