"Frauenquote"

Germany has recently passed a law mandating that 30% of executive positions in German companies be filled by women. The "Frauenquote" as it's called, has an incredibly long and detailed article on German wikipedia, yet astonishingly, no English translation.

On the other hand, according to a study by Grant Thornton International, a US based consulting firm, the percentages for women in senior management by country were as follows:

Russia - 40%
France - 33%
India - 15%
Germany -14%
Japan - 8%
