dc.description.abstractThe under-representation of women on corporate boards has received increased attention in terms of corporate governance over the last decade. The necessity of gender diversity on corporate boards is mostly based on economic rationale, which is insufficient due to two reasons; first, it is not always possible to find a correlation between female participation on boards and the interests of the shareholders, and second such a correlation for male members of the board is not sought. The economic rationale needs to be reinforced with an equality rationale that emphasizes women's rights to promote gender diversity on corporate boards. Equality rationale is precisely what corporate governance regulations can provide.It is debatable which type of regulation is the most effective among the strategies to increase the share of women on the boards. The regulations can be grouped under two broad types. The first includes the introduction of mandatory quota for women on boards, along with sanctions. The second approach is of a more voluntary character. The Corporate Governance Principles of Turkey, which regulates gender diversity on the corporate boards, have been drawn up with the latter being preferred. However, statistics show that Turkey is showing slow progress in this regard. This signals that the soft law approach did not have the desired impact on increasing the proportion of women on the corporate boards.
