More than 75% of women work and 'that's not going to change'

Women are still a strong force in the work place, a leading magazine editor has claimed.

Maureen Rice, award winning editor of the emotional wellbeing publication Psychologies Magazine, says that 75 to 80 per cent of women work and "that's not going to change".

Explaining she said: "There was a massive push for women to have a life in the world and not just at home, which was necessary and good and I don't think anybody wants to turn the clock back on that."

She went on to say that women had pushed themselves into a world which had been designed around men going to work and women staying at home.

Her comments come as her magazine is set to publish the ‘New Luxuries Female Lifestyle Study’ survey, a study which has researched the opinions of 1,500 women of all ages nation-wide.

Among the results the survey found that 78 per cent of women wished they had more time, that 74 per cent wanted a debt free life and that 65 per cent wanted a job which fitted their lives.

A survey in 2006 by Pareto Law the sales training specialist, conducted a survey of more than 200 sales professionals which found that 53 per cent of men and 66 per cent of women thought women make be better in sales jobs than men.
