This book was released on 2005-05-19 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Occupational segregation has a major effect on the gender pay gap in the UK and deprives employers of potential recruits, a fact of particular importance in areas of skills shortages. The Committee's report examines occupational segregation and the associated tendancies for predominantly female occupations to be lower paid and undervalued. It focuses on four key aspects: the lack of knowledge about career options as a barrier to young people choosing non-traditional occupations; problems in accessing training in atypical areas; difficulties with alien or sometimes even hostile business culture; and the lack of availability of part-time or flexible working in the higher-paid occupations and at senior levels in all occupations. The Committee expresses its support for the work of the Sector Skills Councils in addressing this problem and in disseminating good practice, and argues that other organisations, such as trade associations and Regional Development Agencies, should become more active in this area. The Committee also calls on the Government to review equal pay legislation to try and make the principle of 'equal pay for work of equal value' more effective.

Download or read book Why Women Should Be Taken More Seriously in the Boardroom written by Barrie Gunter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, there has been a lack of parity between women and men in senior corporate roles, particularly in major companies with the biggest market capitalisation. This can be partly explained by inequalities of career opportunity and also women’s self-perceptions. Yet there are plenty of examples in business and other worlds, notably politics, that women can perform effectively in the highest leadership roles. Some countries have actively encouraged greater female representation on the boards of major companies. This is a positive step forward. When women join the boards of top companies, the decision-making climates of these bodies can change for the better. When women are appointed as leaders of poorly performing companies they can turn them around and convert them into success stories every bit as often as male appointees. Women have been dismissed as lacking the character for business leadership. Sometimes, women are their own worst enemies and feel uncomfortable when members of their own gender act more like men. Yet, self-belief can strengthen their perceived suitability for top jobs. Women do need to act tougher to get to the top, but this does not mean abandoning their femininity or having a fulfilling life outside business. Why Women Should Be Taken More Seriously in the Boardroom is a useful tool for business students as well as those in the corporate world looking to gain a deeper understanding of gender balance within leadership roles.

Download or read book Erotic Capital written by Catherine Hakim and published by . This book was released on 2011-09-06 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2010, pioneering sociologist Catherine Hakim shocked the world with a provocative new theory: In addition to the three recognized personal assets (economic, cultural, and social capital), each individual has a fourth asset—erotic capital—that he or she can, and should, use to advance within society. In this bold and controversial book, Hakim explores the applications and significance of erotic capital, challenging the disapproval meted out to women and men who use sex appeal to get ahead in life. Social scientists have paid little serious attention to these modes of personal empowerment, despite overwhelming evidence of their importance. In Erotic Capital, Hakim marshals a trove of research to show that rather than degrading those who employ it, erotic capital represents a powerful and potentially equalizing tool—one that we scorn only to our own detriment.

Download or read book From Day One written by Joyce Banda and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The case for narrowing the gender gap is well established, and programs seeking to empower women in sub-Saharan Africa have multiplied. Yet a critical piece is missing: a focus on rural girls from zero to ten years old. Discrimination and social norms that penalize girls and women do not start at adolescence, and by the time many rural girls are 10, it is often too late to undo the damage that has already been done. As an African woman leader who has grown up on the African soil, Joyce Banda, Malawi's first female president and Africa's second, has seen firsthand how young rural girls face obstacles in areas that are critical in shaping their future. This book makes the case of how, if African girls are to realize their potential as leaders and change the narrative of their continent, gender interventions should and can be started from day one. For we cannot to leave any girl behind.
