Chris N. French POTENTIAL FOR PROFESSIONAL WOMEN IN GENERAL?

Abstract

Studies of women's employment have pointed to the availability of part‐time work as a major factor in their employment. For many women, the disruptions of their work for family commitments has led to a decrease in their earning power and the status of their work [1]. Professional work is relatively well paid, opportunities for part‐time work are good in many areas and recruitment is restricted to qualified people only. This is particularly true of optometry where there is also little or no evidence of unemployment, providing optimal conditions for the employment of women. Leaving aside factors such as social class, a study of the working patterns of women optometrists might well point out the work potential of to‐day's women. Women's employment.
