In Sweden, and probably elsewhere, there's a pressure to regulate hiring of managers to top-level postitions, for example in the government. So if 70% of the managers were men, then for the next opening, only women would be elegible.
I think this is the wrong approach. What we want to do is make sure that men and women have the same possibility of beeing hired. It is a crime to discriminate against someone based on their sex, and I think this is good.
Once everyone has the same possibility of beeing hired (or whatever the case may be), then it will ultimately be down to each own to decide what he or she wishes to do with his or her life.
