Abstract

The “participation of women in decision-making positions persists to be seen with scepticism. This transference supports business practices as women facilitate the foundational support structure in aspects of care of children and the elderly, office support, healthcare, and teaching, both in the workplace and at home, allowing their male co-workers or domestic partners to fully participate in corporate governance.[1] These are expenses that are never recognized in a company's financial statements as they are outsourced at the cost of women's free labour.”
Since “public policy fails to demand greater systemic change, public law supports present injustices and, as a result, corporate law fails to consider more holistic private decision-making structures. Women weigh opportunity costs differently than men, with familial and societal duties taking precedence over many concerns of progress or employment. The gendered perception of opportunity costs is created by the fact that company and household loyalty are usually seen as mutually exclusive rather than corresponding.” Women 's familial responsibilities “are still seen as a failure to contribute to the corporation's existence.[2] Reform in the public policy cannot singlehandedly change the status quo, this shall be accompanied by an evaluation of how companies operate and a fundamental structural change in the workplace.”
