UK’s top firms fail to increase female equity partner figures

@ Anonymous | 12-Sep-2011 5:05 pm One could write a 10,000 essay on the issues surrounding childcare and men and women, but one point that doesn't get raised very often is the following: it is seen as the norm for a woman to have several years "missing" from her CV becuase of childcare. This is much less accepted for men and I am sure that many men worry that a year or two (or more) missing from their CV because they were looking after the kids will be viewed by stuffy employers as the equivilent as a spell in prison. It would be great if these old fashioned attitudes were to change but it will take decades more.
