ABSTRACT: To aid employers in providing equal opportunities
for women workers, this book describes working women today,
their education and training, laws, regulations, and
programs providing employment protection, and suggests ways
of recruiting, employing, and working with women. An
overview of women in the present workforce is presented-
their participation rates, occupational status, marital and
family status, and earnings--and evidence is offered to
dispel many common myths. The educational background and
employment preparation of women is discussed, new
directions
in women's education are indicated, and statistical data
are
provided to assist employers in setting future employment
projections or goals. The major anti-discriminatory laws
and
regulations are described with the texts appended. Methods
are outlined for compliance with anti-discrimination laws
through the development of an effective affirmative action
program. Sources useful to employers in locating and
recruiting women candidates for employment are listed, and
suggestions are offered for working effectively with women
employees and for providing a climate conducive to their
full professional and occupational development. (Author/NJ)

This is an ERIC database document. ERIC is the National
Education Information Network for providing ready access
to the literature of education -descriptions of exemplary
programs, research and development efforts, and related
information that can be used in developing more effective
educational programs. The ERIC database is currently
available on CD-ROM in the main library (ground floor of
the west wing) at Michigan State University. To locate
ERIC documents in the library identify the first line of
each record (i.e., the field ERIC TITLE NUMBER). ED

an unpublished research study. Most of these items are
available in the Microforms library, located on the 3rd
floor of the west wing. All you need is the six digit ED
number. If EJ follows ERIC TITLE NUMBER the item is a
journal article. The complete journal name is listed after
the code JOURNAL.
