Fix this textStudy to explore neglected
Fix this textarea of labour market
Fix this textWhat is the real situation facing
Fix this textwomen aged over 45 who have
Fix this textexperienced unemployment and
Fix this textre-employment in the labour market?
Fix this textA UNSW study over 12 months will ex-
Fix this textplore this largely neglected area of women
Fix this textin the marketplace. The study is expected
Fix this textto begin in July.
Fix this textEmeritus Professor Sol Encel, an Honorary
Fix this textResearch Associate in the Social Policy
Fix this textResearch Centre, has been awarded a grant
Fix this textof $33,000 to carry out a sample study of
Fix this textwomen 45 years and over who have
Fix this textrecently experienced unemployment and
Fix this textre-employment and to identify the role of
Fix this textformal and informal networks in section
Fix this textof the labour market.
Fix this textHe will investigate employment practices
Fix this textrelating to recruitment and deployment,
Fix this textchoices and obstacles in employment and
Fix this textthe improvement of women’s status at
Fix this textwork by highlighting job segregation.
Fix this textThe grant has been made available by the
Fix this textWomen’s Grants Program administered by
Fix this textthe former NSW Ministry for the Status
Fix this textand Advancement of Women.
Fix this textProfessor Encel said that although studies
Fix this texthave been carried out (for example by the
Fix this textDepartment of Employment, Education and
Fix this textTraining) on employers’ attitudes to people
Fix this textover 45, none paid particular attention to
Fix this textwomen.
Fix this text“At one level, age discrimination affects
Fix this textwomen at an earlier age than men,” Pro-
Fix this textfessor Encel said. “For example in
Fix this texttraditional women’s occupations such as
Fix this texttypist and receptionist.”
Fix this text“Several recent labour market data indi-
Fix this textcates that women in their fifties find it
Fix this texteasier to obtain part-time employment
Fix this textthan men.”
Fix this textProfessor Encel said he and his co-worker
Fix this texton the project, Mrs Helen Studencki,
Fix this textaimed to collect at least 100 case histories,
Fix this textand interviews will be carried out with
Fix this textemployers as well as employees.
Fix this textThe study will be concerned not only
Fix this textwith success or failure in finding employ-
Fix this textment, but also with workplace experience
Fix this textfollowing re-employment.
Fix this textProfessor Encel’s last book, Out of the
Fix this textDoll’s House, contained a detailed
Fix this textanalysis of female participation in the
Fix this textworkforce. Since that book was published
Fix this textin 1991 he has spent much of his time on
Fix this textresearch and policy advice on matters
Fix this textconnected with ageing.
