abstract: 'Objective In the UK, a growing number of females entering pharmacy are
|
|
|
|
women from Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups (BAME). Research
|
|
|
|
shows that BAME women are more likely to work in the community sector
|
|
|
|
and be self-employed locums than white women, and Asian women
|
|
|
|
overrepresented in part-time, lower status roles. This study aims to
|
|
|
|
explore the employment choices of white and BAME women pharmacists to
|
|
|
|
see whether their diverse work patterns are the product of individual
|
|
|
|
choices or other organisational factors. Methods Key findings This study
|
|
|
|
analyses 28 qualitative interviews conducted with 18 BAME and 10 white
|
|
|
|
women pharmacists. The interview schedule was designed to explore early
|
|
|
|
career choices, future career aspirations and key stages in making their
|
|
|
|
career decisions. The findings show that white and BAME women are
|
|
|
|
influenced by different factors in their early career choices. Cultural
|
|
|
|
preferences for self-employment and business opportunities discourage
|
|
|
|
BAME women from hospital sector jobs early in their careers. Resonating
|
|
|
|
with other studies, the findings show that white and BAME women face
|
|
|
|
similar barriers to career progression if they work part-time. Textbox
|
|
|
|
Conclusions Women working part-time are more likely to face workforce
|
|
|
|
barriers, irrespective of ethnic origin. Cultural preferences may be
|
|
|
|
preventing BAME women from entering the hospital sector. This research
|
|
|
|
is important in the light of current debates about the future shape of
|
|
|
|
pharmacy practice, as well as wider government policy objectives that
|
|
|
|
seek to improve the working lives of health care professionals and
|
|
|
|
promote racial diversity and equality in the workplace.'
