| description | One of the ways to study the dynamics of gender is through its interaction
with career. It is argued that the construction of career processes and
realities follow a gender breakdown. However, the question of gender and
career is still somewhat new and less understood in the Malaysian context. This
inaugural paper aims to highlight emerging concepts and realities about gender
and careers. The paper first theorizes gender and career, presents some data
on demography and employment and career positions by gender in selected
organizations. The paper then highlights the implications of the gendered nature
of careers for individuals and organizations; and finally draws conclusions and
identifies challenges for organizational policy development. |
