Résumé
La France a voté en 2011 une loi obligeant les sociétés cotées en bourse ou dépassant certains seuils à nommer des femmes dans leurs conseils d’administration. L’objectif de cet article est de mieux connaître le capital humain des femmes et des hommes administrateurs nommés dans un contexte de loi et de vérifier si les exigences de recrutement sont les mêmes indépendamment du genre. Notre étude, portant sur 112 sociétés, conclut que les critères de sélection des administrateurs sont en majorité les mêmes pour les hommes et les femmes nommés depuis la promulgation de la loi Copé Zimmermann.

France voted in 2011 a law requiring publicly traded companies or firms exceeding certain thresholds to appoint women to their boards.

Our study, involving 112 companies, concludes that the criteria for selecting directors are mostly the same for men and women appointed since the promulgation of the Zimmermann Copé Act.

Nuestro estudio, que incluyó 112 empresas, concluye que los criterios de selección de los directores, son en su mayoría los mismos para hombres y mujeres designados desde la implementación de la Ley de Cope Zimmermann.
