The dean of the School of Economics points out that there are "lights and shadows" in the status of today's women.
Reyes Calderón participated in roundtable organized by the association de Mujeres Empresarias y Directivas de Navarra.
The dean of the School of Economic and Business Sciences of the University of Navarra, Reyes Calderón, explained during the celebration of a roundtable organized by the Amedna/Neeze (association of Women Entrepreneurs and Executives of Navarra) that the current status of women presents "many lights, but also shadows".
withdrawal According to the economist, there are figures that show an improvement in the panorama, for example in the area of Education, such as the fact that almost 76% of women have access to training secondary school; that the rate of early schooling has fallen (25% of women compared to 38% of men); and that there is a large female presence in degrees related to experimental sciences, health, Humanities and art.
However, there are other indexes such as employment rate or female unemployment that show a less hopeful status . "In addition, women work more part-time, almost 50%, because they take care of dependents in their environment," she explained.
In fact, "surveys say that women want to work in other ways but are prevented from doing so by family "burdens". They also point out that the age of marriage in 2007 was 28.7 for women and 30.2 for men, and that women have their first child at the age of 30, average ".
In the roundtable, entitled "Looking ahead: women, business and leadership" and attended by more than 100 people, also participated the mayor of Pamplona, Yolanda Barcina; the president of Acciona Energy, Carmen Becerril; and the director of private banking and management assets of Caixa Catalunya, Merche Grau. Also, Idoia Altadill, director of Onda Cero Navarra, was in charge of moderating the session.
