Abstract

The article explores the evolving role of gender quotas in a society where women are increasingly surpassing men in education and professional sectors, a concept termed "the end of men." It examines the legal and social implications of gender quotas, contrasting France's constitutional commitment to gender parity with Sweden's shift away from such quotas as they begin to disadvantage women in certain contexts. The author argues that the justification for gender quotas is being reevaluated, moving from correcting historical discrimination to maintaining gender balance as a permanent societal goal.
