Wanted: 3,732 Women to Govern Corporate America

The video discusses the current gender disparity on US boards, where only a quarter of directors are women. It highlights the slow pace of change and introduces a new California law mandating female representation on boards. The law requires at least one female director by the end of the year and three by 2021 for California-based companies. This change could increase female representation on US boards by 20%, adding approximately 691 female directors. If applied nationally, over 2100 companies in the Russell 3000 would need to add women to their boards.

By what year must most boards have at least three women according to the California law?

How many more female directors could there be on US boards if the California law applied nationally?
