Public limited companies in Norway were given until the start of this year to implement rules designed to increase the representation of women on company boards. The legal requirement is that each gender should have at least 40% representation on company boards. According to "Statistics Norway", 78% of public limited companies met this requirement on 1 January 2008. Of the total population of company directors on 1 January 2008, 36.2% were female (up from 29.8% on 1 July 2007).
