Changing in women's attitude towards their career

These days, women have an important role in our society. I’ll discuss two aspect of this topic.

First of all, they pursuit their own career more than before. Performance based system, so called merit system has been installed in our society for the last two decades. In essence, this system is not a matter of gender as long as they can perform well. In this environment, the roll of women has been changing. I can relate to my work place. The number of female engineers is significantly increasing. In the past, 10% of all employees are female engineers. But it increases up to around 40%. They continue their career after getting married or having baby. It’s a good evidence that they pursuit their own accomplishment/fulfillment on the job.

Secondly, they expand their choices of employment. They don’t hesitate to take jobs under harsh condition such as long working hours and risky vocation. For example, at my work place, we have female security guard at the entrance gate. She is strapping lady though. In the past, only male guards served. But the number of female guards has increased for the last decade. I believe that the variety of women’s career has been expanded.

In conclusion, they enhance the possibility to play an active role in our society.
