Just 8.3% of S'pore board directors are women: poll
57% of listed firms here have all-male boards, according to Diversity Task Force
Add BT as a preferred source[SINGAPORE] Only 8.3 per cent of board directors at Singapore-listed companies are women, and 57 per cent of such companies have all-male boards.
The numbers may not be surprising, as this is hardly the first time facts and figures on the appalling lack of female representation on Singapore boards are being bandied about. But what sets this latest set of findings apart is that it builds upon previously released reports on the subject and, for the first time, is a government-backed study.
The study was conducted by the Diversity Task Force (DTF) to examine the state of gender diversity on boards and in senior management in Singapore.
