"she's assumed to get pregnant and go on maternity leave"
Would you say that assumptions is completely unfounded? What percentage of women don't have kids?
- mgkimsal 13y agoYou'd need to narrow it down some - what percentage of women in "industry X" don't have kids. I don't know if the numbers would be significantly different, but they might for some industries.
- Tichy 13y agoIn some industries you might not have a significant enough number of women to create a significant statistic.
- jack-r-abbit 13y agoI don't think people are necessarily saying that this assumption is or is not unfounded. But it should not be grounds for not hiring someone.
- Tichy 13y agoBut what is the solution? Why should companies be responsible to pay for that risk? I think if society doesn't want women to be disadvantaged because of the "risk" of becoming family persons, then society should pay up, not companies.
