Abstract

Given the very markedly sexual division of labor in
the production sphere, this paper aims to investigate the main
proposals for the promotion of equal opportunities for men and
women in business organizations. In this purpose, we analyse
some policies aiming a greater gender representation in decision-making positions of companies: a voluntary proposal, established and supervised by the own economic agents, adopted in England; a compulsory policy, imposed by state regulation in the form of binding quotas, adopted in Norway. It is a bibliographical and documental research, of qualitative character, by using the method of content analysis. As a result, the importance of
considering voluntary and binding alternatives in the political
sphere is emphasized, so as not to naturalize the discourse of the
market solution and self-regulation as a single possible way for
the issue of gender inequality in companies.
