Women comprised 37 per cent of Hong Kong′s total work‐force, but held only 20 per cent of the managerial positions. Discusses the general working environment of women in management, wage differentials, sexual segregation, discrimination and perception and attitudes towards women as managers. Looks at the problems and difficulties encountered by women who enter management and gives recommendations for women aspiring to management positions.
