Johanna Jers' research focuses on gender diversity in company markets. Her research interests lie in the field of sustainability studies, property rights, company law, and discrimination law. The overall purpose of her dissertation is to analyze the basis of company law in relation to fundamental rights and freedoms in Sweden, specifically aiming to introduce measures for balanced representation of women and men as directors in listed companies beyond the requirements of the EU Directive (2022/2381) for large companies. Key areas of her study include analyzing the legal context of implementing these measures, and understanding the relationship between these measures and property rights within contexts of company law and fundamental rights. Additionally, Johanna discusses the measures aimed at achieving gender balance, often referred to as gender quotas, which have been polarizing and criticized as unlawful or unnecessary. Nevertheless, her main conclusion suggests that these measures entail restrictions on company law rights and fundamental freedoms.
