Women in the workforce in Ireland
 Until the 1970’s most Irish
  women worked in
  traditional roles as wives
  and mothers.

 The situation changed
  dramatically over the past
  40 years and many women
  now work outside the
  home.

 Many women are choosing
  to have careers instead of
  working in the home.
Women in the workforce in Ireland
There are many reasons why things changed;

1.    From the late 1960’s everyone in Ireland had free secondary
      education. Boys and girls now had equal access & opportunities
      to get qualifications and participate in the workforce.

2.    Gender equality laws have given women equal status with men
      in the workforce.

3.    The increase in the cost of living has meant that in many cases
      both parents now have to work to pay for the house, the car
      etc.

Despite the changes that have
occurred, inequalities still exist
     in
the workplace. For example;

1.    3 x more women than men
      work in part-time jobs.
2.    Women earn less than
      men in manufacturing
      jobs.
3.    Men occupy most of the
      higher level positions in
      the work place.

Q. Contrast the salaries of men
and women in shown in Fig.11.17

  differences exist.
