Re:Are gender quotas good for business? by belorn on Tuesday September 04, 2018 @09:40AM (#17908930)
Please give a suggested way to measure the effect in a objective way.

With hunger this is easy. Measure the number of children sick of malnutrition or that dies of hunger per population and square miles. With forest fires you measure the number of forest fire per square miles and affected people per square miles.

So what should we use in order to measure gender disparities. What about gender segregation, ie the professions with the highest rate of gender segregation get also the highest number of resources dedicated to it. We could measure by effectiveness, looking at the historical rate that gender segregation goes down per number of resources in gender equality. We could look at gender disparities in the form of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, addressing each layers gender disparities.

The parent comments implies that money and positional power is the metric being exclusively used here to measure anything.
