5. First lets have a look to how history perceived a women’s work back then. 5

6. HISTORICAL ASPECT 6

7. Frequently, women employees were not taken seriously by their bosses, colleagues, or society. Having a career posed challenges for women due to their family responsibilities. Women were expected to perform duties as wife and mother, in addition to fulfilling their professional responsibilities. 7

8. Some women experienced feelings of guilt or selfishness if they put their career interests first . Because women’s work and family demands were simultaneous, these demands had a significant impact on women’s careers. 8

9. EARLY WOMEN’S PARTICIPATION IN THE WORKFORCE Changed significantly throughout time Historically, Society believed a woman’s place was In her home. Caring for her husband and children, as opposed to the workplace. 9

10. Women commonly assisted their husbands with maintaining the family or acted as a business partner, although they often received no pay. If they were paid for their work, women earned less than their male counterparts 10

11. EVENTUALLY Women began extending their work outside the home in the form of domestic and other jobs such as clerical workers. The integration of women into the workforce was a slow process and was often viewed unfavorably by society 11

12. Although some women were beginning to experience life in the workforce, they were frequently regarded as temporary employees. 12

16. TODAYS’S SENARIO ! ! ! Woman’s educational level has also been a strong predictor of the number of years she will be employed. Women are extending their participation in the workforce. Women themselves have tended to associate a postsecondary degree with success and increased salary, thus perceiving a greater payoff to pursuing postsecondary education than men. 16
