Women 'to dominate workforce'

Women 'to dominate workforce' A change in employment trends means women are likely to become the dominant force in the workplace by 2033, it has been claimed.

Research conducted by Future Laboratory conducted on behalf of Microsoft predicts that a greater emphasis on "female-orientated soft skills" will become intrinsic to the economy, reports Personnel Today.

Commenting on the issue, Jemma Harris, mobile working expert at the software giant, said: "As these skills and creativity become the currency for tomorrow's economy, coupled with the advantage mobile technologies will provide women with, we'll see a greater shift towards more equal opportunities for women."

She added that men will need to ensure they in possession of such skills in order to keep up-to-date in the mobile age.

According to a recent study by Cruise118, some 46 per cent of people would like to work from home on a full-time basis.
