Businessuite Magazine October 2012 Digital Issue

So why an issue about women in business? The truth is that the more things appear to change, the more they remain the same. Women still face a number of hurdles relative to business andcorporate equality. Consider the following: Only 3 of the 13 countries in the Caribbean region have between 20 and 30 percent female Parliamentarians; of the 11 countries that have the relevant data, females have 10 – 20 percent lower levels of participation in the labor force. In some countries in the region, it is as much as 40% percent lower. This is despite the fact that secondary and tertiary school female enrolment far exceeds that of males. The 2009 Economic and Social Survey of Jamaica found the enrolment rate of women in tertiary education to be twice that of men. Yet, this does not translate into data reflecting equal participation in the employment or business marketplace.
