Normally there is a shortage of women in management positions in companies and also in politics and administration, but for the city of Paris it is precisely the opposite that is becoming a problem. It is said that he must pay a fine of 90,000 euros for discrimination against men when occupying the highest positions in the city administration.
According to French media, the fine was already imposed last week, and now the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, commented on the fine. He spoke of an “absurd” and “unfair” decision.
According to the AFP news agency, the reason is that the city announced 16 new managerial positions in 2018, of which eleven were for women and five for men.
The quota for women was 69 percent of jobs, too high, according to the Ministry of Public Administration. It is based on a regulation according to which at least 40 per cent of such positions must be filled by members of one gender. With only 31 percent of the men being at a disadvantage in the Paris tender, he said.
Mayor Hidalgo of the Socialist Party said that she secretly felt “joy” at the notice of the fine. He announced that he would deliver the check in person along with his deputies and other women in senior positions.
At the same time, he accused the Ministry of taking an “irresponsible and dangerous” step. “To get to parity one day, we must accelerate so that more women than men are appointed,” he said.
In Germany, the grand coalition agreed in principle in November that in future there should be at least one woman on the boards of directors of listed companies with equal codetermination and with more than three members.
