Bon, il n’y a pas que l’oral pro alors un petit texte à résumer en Anglais (tombé en 2007 à Montpellier) :

TV ‘should put more women in men’s roles’

 

 

MINISTERS should urge television programme-makers and advertisers to portray more women in traditional men’s jobs, according to a report commissioned by Tony Blair published tomorrow.

The Women and Work Commission report will recommend ‘non-stereotypical’ characters for TV soap operas and commercials in order to encourage better role models for schoolgirls.

 

It is one of several proposals in the long-awaited report, which was set up to tackle the pay gap and different promotion prospects between the sexes.  The commission, chaired by the Labour peer Baroness Prosser, has found that girls are still being steered towards ‘stereotypical’ subjects at school which lead them into lower-paid careers. Women also lose out when they return to work after having babies, and are often forced into parttime jobs that underuse their skills, the report finds.

The report, to be launched by Blair and Gordon Brown tomorrow alongside Prosser, concludes that while girls outperform boys at school, that advantage disappears once they get into the workplace.

The commission will call for better vocational training and work experience for girls, to steer them towards the traditional male bastions of the job market. It also wants to highlight ‘exemplar’ companies, which have achieved business success by promoting women.

The report also recommends working with firms to increase the range of jobs that can be done on part-time or flexible basis, and adapting current childcare and employment programmes to help women returning to work after having children.

Early action in response to the report is expected in Brown’s March 22 budget. The chancellor read the report last week and is said to have been impressed.

New financial incentives will be provided for job centre advisers to steer women away from jobs with low pay and low prospects and into work in which there is career progression.
