Employment Overview

Unpaid labor is work even though no one pays for it. Worldwide, women still do the bulk of the unpaid labor, spending their valuable hours toiling to men’s

It is no secret that the automotive industry has historically been dominated by the male gender. The NADA Work Force Study of 2015 stated that women make up 47% of the US Labor Force. However, only 23.6% of those women are employed in the automotive industry. Of that 23.6%, only 8% were in key leadership roles, and the other 91% held positions in either administrative or clerical roles. Over the last several decades, there has been little change in these numbers. I find these statistics quite alarming and worth further investigating. So why are we not recruiting, hiring and marketing to more women? Is it the stereotype that women are emotional and cannot make clear decisions? Do employers feel that women are incapable of conducting business on a day-to-day basis, in a professional and productive manner? Do females come across as weak and inferior to men? Capitalize on the Differences Between Men and Women It concerns me that people are quick to point out the differences between men and

Almost all economies have, or are at least starting to, understand the significance of examining and mainstreaming gender issues in the world of work. Sociocultural evolution and various other factors have helped these developments, but there is still so much more work to be done. Technology has played a substantial role in decreasing the gender divide as more households than ever before have access to technology, and the revolution of access to information across most societies has become gender neutral and empowering. While technology can hold the potential to significantly expand the job market and open opportunities for all job seekers, questions surrounding automation and availability of jobs and the accessibility to secure the necessary qualifications and education needed to fill paid jobs rage on, especially when examining those who are typically marginalized. Gender Perspectives on Industry 4.0 and the Impact of Technology on Mainstreaming Female Employment discusses gender perspective and its impact on the fourth industrial revolution, particularly in the realm of employment structure, and analyzes the impact of technology on mainstreaming women in paid employment. In the present environment, organizations are beginning to realize the importance of looking more critically at their workforce and structure and how to better cater to the diversity, equity, and inclusion movement while also productively managing the advancement of new technologies. Covering topics such as sustainable development and the future of work, it is ideal for policymakers, practitioners, professionals, consultants, managers, researchers, academicians, educators, and students.

The Progressive Era in the United States, which lasted from about 1890 to 1920, was a period of incredible political change. It's the time when things such as women's suffrage, reproductive rights, and general social and economic justice were fought for, and won. Labor reform and increased wages took hold, and the movement eventually won a number of important concessions, from the elimination of child labor to the establishment of the 40-hour workweek, but not every battle ended in conclusive success. Many of the same points raised more than a century ago remain hot-button topics even today. 10. Health Care

Women are considered LABOUR FORCE participants only if they work outside the home. In the past women have been expected to be in the labour force only until they marry; this reflects the historical, idealized notion of a society in which the man is the breadwinner and the woman the homemaker.

This book explores how around the world, womens increased presence in the labor force has reorganized the division of labor in households, affecting different regions depending on their cultures, economies, and politics; as well as the nature and size of their welfare states and the gendering of employment opportunities.
