Description
This thesis uses tools and measures emerging social network analysis to study
whether organisations are gender neutral. (...) We will be using the same data as these authors as Scandinavian
countries and, specially, Norway are quite advanced in implementing equality
policies. Equality strategies have been seen as potential ways to counteract the
strong patterns of occupational sex segregation, both from governments, policymakers
as well as researchers. We will focus only in the data referred to the
corporate Boards of Directors (BODs). The complete data description of the
data is given in x4.1.
In particular, we do believe that social network analysis will be a useful to
help to answer some relevant questions as:
1. Which will be the influence of women in society after the implementation
of gender equality policies?
2. Do relations among BODs members will change?
3. Are mandatory gender quotas on corporate boards good policies?
