Report Highlights Gap Between Female Job Applicants and Employer Outreach in Frontline Roles
A recent report by WorkIndia highlights that women constitute 43.5% of applicants for frontline jobs, yet only 13% of job postings explicitly target them, indicating a gap between female job seekers and employer outreach. Applications from women span various sectors, including sales, office roles, and hospitality. A separate survey of 1,400 women emphasizes barriers like unpaid care work and the need for workplace flexibility, policies addressing health, and support for women returning after maternity breaks to improve female workforce participation.
