2018
Of the 200 companies reviewed 30 entities had 40% or more board positions held by women. However, it is dissapointing to note that 10 companies do not have a woman on their board. On the other hand it is interesting that in 2018 the ASX200 documented a 12.2% increase in the total number of female board members. Comparitavely, the ASX100 saw minimal growth of 4%.
