The number of women holding board seats in UAE listed firms has more than doubled over in two years, Gulf News reports, quoting Aurora50’s research report Non-executive Board Careers in the UAE: A Path to Gender Balance.
The UAE leadership understands the link between the representation of women in organisations and better financial results, Aurora50 co-founder Diana Wilde said in an interview with Arabian Business.
Al Arabiya reports that the UAE’s continued efforts to improve gender diversity in the boardroom have led to more women holding board positions this year (8.9 percent), up from 3.5 percent in 2020, according to research undertaken by Aurora50 and Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government (MBRSG).
