A parliamentary panel suggests lowering the minimum age for company directors to 18, to expand the talent pool and align with global standards. However, the author urges caution.

While young boards are emerging, cognitive studies indicate complex risk judgment matures later. Citing critical board roles in business success, the author concludes that risks outweigh rewards. Therefore, the decision to lower the eligibility age for board positions should be deferred.
