Produktbeschreibung

"My message to all women and girls is - have faith and believe in yourselves - in your value, your strength, your knowledge and your capabilities. I thank the authors for this women's empowerment book, and recommend it to everyone who is interested in learning more about gender equality and women's rights."

-Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic, President of the Republic of Croatia and Chair of Council of Women World Leaders

Focusing on the status of highly educated women in the workplace, this book examines how a particular demographic and workforce group can help to close the gender pay gap worldwide. Despite contributing to the substantial fall of differentials between men and women on a global scale, the demographic of highly educated women is rarely explored in terms of its impact on gender equality. Drawing on both macro- and micro-level perspectives, this book analyses the theory behind gender segregation and initiatives for women's inclusion, as well asoffering empirical accounts of women's experiences in the workplace. The authors have written a timely and valuable book that will appeal to both researchers of diversity and inclusion in the workplace, but also policy-makers and practitioners involved in HR.
