Most high level jobs are done by men. Should the government encourage a certain percentage of these jobs to be reserved for women?

Most high level jobs are done by men. Should the government encourage a certain percentage of these jobs to be reserved for women?

A majority believes that some ratio of managerial jobs should be only offered to females. In the forthcoming paragraphs, I will delve into this issue and share a plausible opinion.  

To start with, women deserve equal opportunities for top jobs as they are equally gifted, in terms of taking ownership such as managing the higher rank in organizations, and are found to deliver the better approach when it comes to handling strategically essential matters: conflict resolution, handling chaotic matters and making pragmatic decisions, that are derived only after profound brainstorming. To corroborate, human resources of Microsoft hired almost equal numbers of males and females for team lead positions in 2020 November, and after comparing their performance after a quarter,  it was discovered that the latter actually enjoyed a slight edge over their former counterparts while managing teams effectively, and  maneuvering through conflicting priorities and challenging projects. 

Looking at the broader perspective of this policy, this will aford opportunties to enhance diversity of talent in disparate domains, and also offer panacea from diverse perspectives: both men and women exhibit different attitudes while handling and resolving issues, precipitating benefits for society at large in myriad of domains, and helping it register exponential progress in various realms; half of the human population will get a chance to harness its latent talent and contribute with their skills in their strength areas. To exemplify, women enjoy a natural edge over their male counterparts in terms of leading concerns dealing in fashionable goods, and firms led by them have generated employment and economic benefits for society.  

To conclude, I strongly believe that certain top management positions should be earmarked for females only. This will help not only them to get their due but also society will benefit from their skills.
