• Description:
  The career advancement of women has been a subject of abundant research, discussion, and debate for decades. As more women began and continued to enter the workforce, organizations have been steadily implementing programs and policies to support women's advancement. In addition, governments have created laws, enacted regulations, set policies, and published guidelines to help individuals and organizations avoid unfair practices such as employment discrimination against women and to realize the benefits of a more diverse workforce. Research to date has examined the advancement of women in their careers from multiple angles - the individual characteristics that contribute to or detract from a woman's success, the impact of the work environment, coworkers, and managers/leaders on women's advancement, the integration of work and non-work lives for women, and the interplay of social, gender role, and power structure dynamics on women's success.
