A STUDY released by the Commission on Gender Equality on Tuesday shows that women still earn less than men, continue to occupy female-stereotypical jobs and are not being trained to take up top management positions. This is despite laws aimed at ensuring equality in the workplace and in spite of the fact that more than half of the 103 companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange have not mainstreamed their gender policies, and affirmative action has taken precedence over female advancement.
