It addresses the statistics underlying the question \"Why so few?\" and assesses issues related to the working environment and attrition of women professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e From the Back Cover Limited access is the first hurdle faced by women seeking industrial jobs in science and engineering. While progress has been made in this area in recent years, common recruitment and hiring practices that make extensive use of traditional networks often overlook the available pool of women. Once on the job, many women find paternalism, sexual harassment, allegations of reverse discrimination, different standards for judging the work of men and women, lower salary relative to their male peers, inequitable job assignments, and other aspects of a male-oriented culture that are hostile to women.","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51936009519392,"sku":"NEW0309049911","price":37.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/women-scientists-and-engineers-employed-in-industry-why-so-few-0309049911","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
