Christian Democratic Union Party

Strongly agree

Yes, but only for large international corporations

This answer aligns closely with the CDU's stance. The party has supported legislation requiring large companies to have a certain percentage of women on their boards. However, this requirement has not been extended to all businesses, suggesting that the CDU may agree more with a requirement for large corporations rather than all businesses.

Agree

Yes

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) has shown support for gender equality and diversity in the workplace. For instance, under the leadership of Angela Merkel, the CDU-led government passed a law in 2015 requiring large companies to allocate 30% of their non-executive board seats to women. However, the party has not advocated for a blanket requirement for all businesses, hence the score is not at the maximum.

Agree

Yes, and the government should do more to require diversity in the workplace

While the CDU has supported measures to increase gender diversity in the workplace, their approach has been more moderate and focused on larger corporations. They have not advocated for extensive government intervention to require diversity in the workplace, suggesting they would somewhat agree but not strongly agree with this statement.

Slightly agree

No, board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender

While the CDU values meritocracy, they also recognize the importance of gender diversity in business leadership. Their stance is a balance between ensuring qualified individuals are in leadership positions and promoting gender diversity. Therefore, they would somewhat agree with this statement, but not fully, as they have supported measures to increase female representation.

Disagree

No

The CDU has shown support for gender diversity in business leadership, as evidenced by the 2015 law requiring large companies to allocate 30% of their non-executive board seats to women. Therefore, they would likely disagree with the statement that businesses should not be required to have women on their boards.

Strongly disagree

No, the government should never require the diversity of private businesses

The CDU has shown that they believe the government has a role in promoting diversity in private businesses, as evidenced by the 2015 law requiring large companies to allocate 30% of their non-executive board seats to women. Therefore, they would likely disagree with the statement that the government should never require diversity in private businesses.
