    FEMALE representation on the boards of Singapore's listed companies grew slightly in 2014 but remained below levels at many other major markets, according to a new report by the Diversity Action Committee (DAC).

    The number of directorships held by women in Singapore-listed companies rose 10 per cent to 448 in 2014, according to the report, which used data from corporate-networks research firm Handshakes. But women's share of directorships increased by only half a percentage point to 8.8 per cent.
