WOMEN MANAGERS IN BRITAIN – ISSUES FOR THE 1990s

Abstract

The position of women managers in Britain is addressed and the relevant issues for the 1990s are discussed. While it seems relatively easy for women to gain employment at the lower levels of organisations, it is still proving very difficult for them to reach upper middle and senior management positions. However, in view of impending demographic changes and probable European Community directives on equal opportunities from 1992, it is visualised that the next decade will provide an enormous opportunity for working women, particularly those in business and management.
