Trends in the Employment of Women in Industry

Abstract

Why are there so few trained women working in industry today? This is an age in which we need to make use of all the talent we have. It is an age of opportunity, both for new and expanding industries and for the young people of ability themselves. Are girls taking full advantage of the new openings there are for them, and is industry sufficiently aware of the great contribution girls can make? Dr Ollerenshaw surveys the trends in recruitment and employment of women and girls in industry and commerce and makes some eminently realistic suggestions for the future.
