Women Returning To WWII Job Sectors Could Add 23 Billion To The Economy

Fri, 27 Mar 2009 10:17:00 GMT

The Women in Work Sector Pathways initiative today announces a further 5 million pounds of funding to help women into male dominated employment sectors. This comes at a time when research released by the UK Commission for Employment and Skills reveals that unleashing womens potential in the workplace could add some 23 billion to the economy, helping to beat the recession. In 2009, two-thirds of women work in just 12 occupational areas mainly cleaning, catering, clerical, retail and caring - whilst two-thirds of men work in 26 occupational areas. Men generally work at a higher level in technical, engineering, transport and communications occupations. In fact only a third of managers and senior officials are women. This is reflected in wage packets - 56% of women with children go out to work, but they earn 32% less than men and 41% less than men who work full-time. Women are not only paid less, theyre also hampered by a lack of prospects in the workplace. But this wasnt always the case. Distributed by Tubemogul.
