Document Summary
Participation rate - the proportion of men or women, from 15 or older who are actually working or actively looking for a job. We want to be closing the gap between men and women. The six problems women face in the workplace. Social culture as an explanation, a cause of what we see. The different waves of feminism and their effects on female labour force participation. Occupational sex segregation: men have one job, while women have another. Glass ceiling stops them from getting higher up in the company: compliance: exercising authority. You have got the power, but exercising the authority and power turns out to be a problem, then they will resist, and it is harder to get compliance from males when you are a manager. 3: passive aggressive, a way of resist aggressively, but without raising your voice or without getting aggressive, you"re passive, but you"re resistant, compensation.
