abstract: 'This research study explored workplace challenges that women in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
South African mining sector still face despite progressive gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sensitive regulations. The purpose of the research was to come up with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
evidence-based recommendations on how to promote sustainable gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
equality in South Africa''s mining sector. A survey approach was used for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the research, with a total of 2 365 women working in the mining sector
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
being interviewed. The main challenge faced by the women was lack of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
career progress followed by discrimination in decision making and in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
remuneration. Women attributed these challenges to their immediate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
supervisors and company policies. A key lesson from the research was
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that legislation can be a useful tool in mitigating workplace challenges
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for women and reducing gender inequality in the mining sector but it is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
not a sufficient intervention. The study recommends that deliberate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
steps should be taken to facilitate and impart skills to women that they
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
need to progress up the employment level hierarchy. This should be done
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
while at the same time opening up opportunities of higher
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
responsibilities for women to hold.'
