Preferred term

women in men's jobs  

Definition

  • Although it is certainly not a new phenomenon, the number of women working in so-called men's jobs is on the rise. This trend is driven by local and national policy initiatives, improved access to nontraditional education, and better opportunities for women to realize their ambitions.
