abstract: 'Women make up almost half the Canadian labour force and more than 50\%
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of post-secondary students. However, in natural resources (NR)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
industries (energy, mining, forestry), they represent less than 20\% of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the workforce, face persistent wage gaps, hold traditionally gendered
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
roles (in sales, administrative and support services) instead of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
technical or managerial positions, and are persistently absent from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
leadership roles. Retention of women is also a big challenge in these
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
industries: many tend to leave their jobs within the first five years of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment, and/or after one or more maternity leaves. Women are very
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
poorly represented in leadership positions (as senior executives and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
board members) despite significant evidence that gender diversity in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
leadership is good for business. Findings from our study of the status
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of women in NR employment in Canada produced concrete policy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
recommendations for recruiting, retaining, and promoting women in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
energy, mining, and forestry. Although these are intended specifically
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for Canadian organisations, they may also be relevant for other
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
countries where women are underrepresented in NR industries.'
