[SPA] Mostrar un panorama normativo de las distintas políticas encaminadas a lograr igualdad de género en Europa. Realizar estudio de los índices de diversidad de género a nivel internacional. [ENG] The objective of this work is to conduct a study on gender diversity in the boards of directors in European Union companies, since it is currently a far-reaching social concern. This type of study aims to give visibility to the imbalances of women in positions of responsibility throughout Europe. An analysis of the composition of the boards and gender balance progress has been carried out thanks to the reading of the current European regulations as well as national legislation and other measures from member states’ policies. Results prove that the evolution on women representation within the boards of directors from European companies is still slow and insufficient. However, the recently approved European Directive expects the member states to get to a minimum of 40% of women on non-executive positions. In addition, measurement tools for gender diversity are reviewed in order to give proposals on how to compute a more inclusive and complete indicator. Two of the most relevant European gender diversity indexes are further explained in this work. These are the Gender Diversity Index and the Gender Equality Index. Finally, the need for a more inclusive and complete index that will take into account small and medium-sized firms, but also the innovation field with scaleup and startup companies, is expressed at the end of this study.
