Beginning July 1, Norway will require all corporate boards to be 40 percent female or the companies will face sanctions, even dissolution, according to Womens eNews. Norway already has the highest percentage of women board members in any country at 22.5 percent. The figure is 18 percent in neighboring Sweden; 11 percent in the U.K. In the U.S. women comprise 14 percent of board members at Fortune 500 companies. The cynical view is that as board membership in the U.S. becomes more burdensome and less lucrative under new ethics and personal liability rules, "opportunity" will open for women.
