Abstract

In the Equal Opportunities Commission Annual Report for 1987 Joanna Foster, the Chairman, stated that, “Equal opportunities is no longer a marginal issue. Forward‐looking employers are responding to the changing needs of a changing workforce by introducing equal opportunity programmes and they are recognising that under‐using or discriminating against women — nearly half the workforce — is bad business.”
