Women and Work Society still tells girls they have a choice as to whether or not they will work for pay. Yet, women are nine times as likely as men to be single parents. Nine out of ten women work for pay at some time during their lives. Eight out of ten women between the ages of 20 and 44 are working in 1995. By paying attention to girls' educational achievements and career aspirations we will ensure that women can have economic security, a better quality of life, and more career choices.
Females continue to be clustered into traditionally female occupations.
If present trends continue and girls are not encouraged into math and science and computer programming, they will be trained only for the data and information-retrieval capabilities of the computer.
