‘A woman is often the right man in the right place.’ This is according to Nellie Kroes, the European Commissioner for Competition in her campaign for a female European president. In Belgium Joelle Milquet (CDH) wants to introduce quotas in the government and companies quoted on the stock exchange. And the Media Minister Ingrid Lieten wants to see more women on TV. Three women at the top who are arguing for more women in top positions.

More and more people agree that when it comes to selection criteria in business, a lot still has to change before women truly have equal opportunities. The call for quotas seems to be getting louder all the time. But are quotas the right approach? And if so, what would a realistic percentage be? And should we introduce quotas for other minorities too? A debate with Karen Celis, Yamila Idrissi, Paul Kalma, Gwendolyn Rutten, Bob Van den Broeck and Liesbeth Van Impe (moderator).
