‘Technical, but not very….’
Changes in the nature of skilled roles in the IT sector were predicted to create new opportunities for women, yet the proportion of women in this sector is falling.This article presents findings from interviews with senior managers in organizations that are attempting to change this situation.There was little evidence from these respondents of a radical reappraisal of the cultural assumptions about jobs and considerable evidence that gendered ide…
Women's Scientific Employment and Family Formation
We focus here on the retention of highly qualified women scientists in science‐based employment in England and Wales. Using linked Census records from the Longitudinal Study 1971–1991 we show that women's education and employment rates in science, engineering and technology increased somewhat, although some fields show persistently low representation. We then compare retention in employing women with health‐related degrees with that of women with…
Women Succeeding in the Sciences
Targeting Women
Successive UK governments have a long history of making statements on the 'women and science' issue. If their aim of increasing the number of women in science is to be realized, both overall and at different occupational and educational levels, there needs to be an understanding that the issue needs to be disaggregated into different phases. Women's representation in scientific employment comprises at least four phases: qualifying, entry/overall …

Women Science Graduates in Britain
The majority of government, professional body and industry rhetoric on the issue of women and S & E (the term which we use throughout to cover the sciences and applied sciences) has been about the low numbers of girls becoming qualified in science and of women entering the sciences (Glover and Fielding 1999). Little attention has been paid to the issue of what happens to women once they enter science. In other words, ‘getting in’ has been seen as…
Polarization in Mothers' Employment
Using secondary analysis of large, nationally representative government data sets, we explore the interaction of occupational class and the age of youngest child in mothers' labour force participation. We show that levels of full‐time working vary markedly in each occupational class and by age of youngest child. Within part‐time working, the principal form of labour force participation for mothers, there are marked class differences in eligibilit…

Analyse secondaire et recherche comparative internationale
Cet article exploite l'analyse secondaire de données transversales françaises et anglaises dans le but d'examiner les similitudes et les différences entre les modèles d'emploi des femmes françaises et britanniques. Ces modèles (emploi à temps plein et à temps partiel dans des groupes d'âge différents) concernent à la fois la main-d'œuvre féminine conçue comme un tout et deux categories professionnelles contrastées : les enseignants et les personn…
Studying Working Women Cross-Nationally
This collection of books uses comparison between and amongst countries to examine the issue of women's paid and unpaid work. One (Dominelli) has a broader brief: in addition to income maintenance, she examines how the welfare state in different countries treats women in the areas of family policy and health policy. In this article, I will firstly take a brief look at ways of approaching cross-national comparison. Secondly, I will consider how the…
