Formal and Informal Organisational Barriers to Women and How to Overcome Them
Abstract
Traditionally, the woman's place, according to society, has been in the home, as mother and homemaker. The workforce has largely been dominated by a long established male entity. With the advent of women's liberation, equal rights and changes in the family structure, more women have either been forced or opted to join the labour pool. In 1950 only 22% of adult American women held jobs, as compared to 55% in 1985.(8, p.1) The US Bureau of Census is estimating that 60% of the female adult population will be working by the year 1995.(8, p.1)
