Women and Re-entry to the Labour (Open)

Urges NFAs to take all possible steps (1)to encourage young women to achieve a level of qualification sufficient to enable them to return to professional life after any interruption; (2) to encourage mature women to consider further education and training in order to qualify for positions at a higher level. To this end, all appropriate authorities-public, private and professional- should be asked to make it possible for mature women to train, qualify and obtain employment, by providing for greater flexibility in the timing and content of programmes, including refresher courses (whether educational or professional), and for social and legal measures which would enable women to take advantage of the opportunities so offered.
