Paper Abstract:
|
This paper aims to analyse the structural and cultural barriers for women in developing a career in the IT. Based on data
obtained from women returners who work in both the public and private sectors, the paper illustrates the variations
between the two sectors for female professionals and the barriers which constrain their career prospects. This cross-sector
comparison enlightens the current literature on womens employment by providing views and experiences as well as
recommendations. The study shows that both sectors provide opportunities but simultaneously constrain womens career
development in different ways. |
