Women face barriers to apprenticeships in modern trades
A UPI report on a three year Wisconsin study shows women in 1970 made up only 4 percent of apprentices with almost all in cosmetology and 69 women in nine trades. By 1973 women entered barbering, cooking, baking, drafting, and more, yet unions and plant rules often limited openings. Obstacles include seniority based selection, long unpaid maternity leaves, and belief some jobs are unsuitable for women, while women’s own attitudes toward work change also mattered.
