Mother's Day
In a worrying development for equal opportunities across the globe, this latest research report from Regus has shown that the proportion of firms intending to hire more working mothers has slumped by one fifth since the same time last year. Compared to a year ago, when 44% of companies planned to hire working mothers, only 36% expect to do so in 20111. These findings will be of particular concern to women’s groups as overall employment prospects brighten with the accelerating global economy in the New Year. The new study also reveals a residual proportion of businesses who continue to harbour concerns about employing working mothers, along with some detail as to what those concerns are.
