Abstract
In recent years the issue of gender equality has been continuously in the centre of attention of politicians, business people and researchers, especially in view of the fact that gender equality is a basic principle and a common value of the European Union, as well as a key factor for achieving sustainable, intelligent and coherent economic growth.This article considers the issue of gender equality with regard to the inclusion of women in the composition of corporate boards in the biggest listed companies in Bulgaria. The legal framework of gender equality in Bulgaria is reviewed: European context and legal guarantees for equality contained in current Bulgarian legislation. A snapshot of the current status of the involvement of women in the management of Bulgarian companies is presented, especially what percentage of the management cadre in the big Bulgarian publicly traded companies are women. An outline is given of the potential and need for further studies of the problem in the light of the ever-greater involvement of women in management and the related elements of corporate governance.
