More women in Jamaican workforce
In Jamaica, we have reported how for years now women have been dominating gradation numbers on both high school and university levels. Now according to the latest statistics, the number of women in the workforce has risen dramatically to equal men. If this trend continues they could surpass men. According to these studies
Women comprise 75% of managers in certain sectors like information technology, human resource management, accounting, and sales and marketing
70% of university graduates
However, Former mayor of Spanish Town and general secretary of the PNP Women's Movement, Jennifer Edwards, contends that women still have a way to go, and still face sexual discrimination and stereotyping . She points out that despite the progress:
There are 3,972 Justices of the Peace in Jamaica, 2,861 of them are men.
All the chairmen of public companies in Jamaica are men
90 per cent of the members of public companies are men
97 per cent of the managing directors of public companies are men
72 per cent of the board members of statutory bodies are men
11 of 14 general secretaries in trade unions are men
223 of the 294 members of the NEC of the PNP are men
53 of the 60 parliamentarians are men
173 of the 227 parish councilors are men.
