Women and Mining — Policies for Opening Up Blue Collar Work
Abstract
The author focuses on one occupational area—mining—and suggests some implications of the available evidence of women's entry to this male bastion of work and power in society. Two key areas are: the need to enforce national standards in the labour market to remove discrimination against admitting women to “male” occupations and the development of positive‐discriminatory training for women currently under‐represented in or barred from a male‐dominated employment sector.
