Gender Diversity on European Boards - Realizing Europe‘s Potential: Progress and Challenges
The study focuses on a key segment of the European economy: the 600 largest European-listed companies, which together comprise the STOXX Europe 600 Index. This elite group of large European corporations includes many of our continent’s most recognisable business names. These are the enterprises that should be leading the way in the implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth.

STEM Graduates and Secondary School Curriculum: Does Early Exposure to Science Matter?
Increasing the number of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) university graduates is considered a key element for long-term productivity and competitiveness in the global economy. Still, little is known about what actually drives and shapes students' choices. This paper focusses on secondary school students at the very top of the ability distribution and explores the effect of more exposure to science on enrolment and persistence in STEM degrees at the university and on the quality of the university attended.

Is Gender Diversity Profitable? Evidence from a Global Survey
Analysis of a global survey of 21,980 firms from 91 countries suggests that the presence of women in corporate leadership positions may improve firm performance. This correlation could reflect either the payoff to nondiscrimination or the fact that women increase a firm’s skill diversity.

Women are underrepresented in fields where success is believed to require brilliance
Women's underrepresentation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields is a prominent concern in our society and many others. Closer inspection of this phenomenon reveals a more nuanced picture, however, with women achieving parity with men at the Ph.D. level in certain STEM fields, while also being underrepresented in some non-STEM fields. It is important to consider and provide an account of this field-by-field variability.

Does corporate gender equality lead to outperformance?
Gender equality from a corporate perspective encompasses issues of workforce diversity as well as equal pay and career opportunities. Analysis of a unique gender based dataset collected by RobecoSAM and based on criteria identified in collaboration with the EDGE Certified Foundation confirms that there is inequality across all industries in terms of gender representation, pay and promotion. Our work is consistent with the growing body of academic research that finds that gender diversity and equality contribute to better corporate performance and investment returns.
