"The tenacious women's careers. Have flooded the labor market and better jobs are now claiming "Peace

Five Days" More will be less, but occupy more management positions and seats on boards of directors. Something is changing. And for the better. This week, Telefónica has appointed an independent adviser to the current head of Merrill Lynch's private banking for Europe, Middle East and Africa, Eva Castillo. This is a small gesture, because in Spain the number of counselors in the highest organs of government enterprises is low at 4%, 3.64%, a ridiculous figure compared with 25% of counselors who are in Sweden. If anyone is comforting, in Italy the percentage is 2%.
However, there is another alarming fact: the expansion of Native women in the labor market will slow in the next 15 years. The explosion of experienced labor supply since 1977, which represented the contribution of three-fourths of the total increase in the native range, with a total of 4.4 million new women into the labor market comes to an end. The Manpower Employment Index indicates that between now and 2023, only incorporated into the labor market about 300,000 new native 16 to 64 years. "We expect a stagnation of the integration of native women in the labor market, and that's going to cause problems, as long as the activity rate grows. All this comes with the aging population, so immigration will be an objective need of the market work, "says Josep Oliver, Professor of Applied Economics at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and coordinator of that study.
As for the boards of directors, says the consultant Pilar Gómez Acebo, are not managed by a company, but which ensures that the company is well managed. What has been, and there are great changes in recent years. It's something that stands out Sarduska Romana, member and secretary general of the board of Uria Menendez: "I have seen dramatic and surprising changes in my career. And the tendency is to believe that progress is inevitable, and that's something I've seen in the treatment of women particularly in equal opportunities, but my optimism may be mitigated, "he says.
Sarduska participated this week in a session on the contribution of women to the councils and the benefits of balancing the presence of women, held at the Madrid headquarters of ESADE. In his opinion, still exists in this area a huge area of \u200b\u200bimprovement. 'The figures in boards in Europe are worse than in the U.S., where there is also greater pressure from the judiciary. " Counsel maintains that, as a member of the board of Uria Menendez, has ceased to be a counselor because there is a limitation on the number of its members, 'and we are encouraging the entry of younger counselors. " Sarduska Romana was the first member and advisor of the firm, 'but in 11 years we have bred a new generation and will soon have more members. "
One of the brake blocks access of women to the councils is precisely the lack of women in management positions, partly due to reconciliation problems with the executive. To get a council must pass through to a senior management position, and today, many professionals are on the road. In Uria Menendez, according Sarduska is anticipated. 'For some time, most arriving in the office were students of law, and proposed that we could not wasting that talent and let women choose other careers or can not balance your life. " 11 years ago, decided to create a flexible plan, "an exercise in common sense that women entering the labor market with excellent training, and is essential to continue a career. It was a measure of good business sense and corporate responsibility. " What is needed now is to pave the way for women to, equal, opt for a position of great responsibility. 30,000 euros
wage gap with men by managers in public administration and in companies with more than ten employees gained, on average, 61,624 annual gross euros in 2006 in Catalonia, reports Rosario Correro. The study by the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce (with data from the progress of the Wage Structure Survey published in December).
Women with the same professional category gained less than half, 30,012 euros. According to the report, the reason for the difference is that many women choose to leave the labor market or reduce their commitment for long periods of time, "making it more difficult to acquire specific human capital or the accumulation of years of experience in positions of responsibility '. The study includes a survey of 4,268 Catalan firms in that 68% recognized that the economic treatment of women is lower than men on the same level of responsibility. The percentage of companies that recognizes the discrimination is 81%. New capabilities
60% of women finished his studies compared with 40% of men. Moreover, the joint boards promote understanding of the complexities of the environment and better strategic planning, as well as providing a more participative leadership as Pilar Gómez Acebo. "
