The Equal Opportunities Commissiom publishes a report
that finds women have to work harder than men to achieve in their careers. Five
professions were sampled and in each men were found to dominate senior posts.
Legislation is in place to deal with, but informal attitudes are more
significant.
The worst offender
was medicine, notably in specialist areas such as surgery and gynecology. There
was also an imbalance in teaching, where a majority of primary school teachers
are women, yet men typically take senior positions, such as principals.
