Is there now equality for women in the workplace?I believe there is equality in the workplace for women, if they want it. A vacancy should be filled by the best suited aplicant, male or female. It must not be given to a female just a meet a quota & put a tick in the box. If a woman wants to be a Coal miner & has the ability to do the job, she should have the same chance of getting the job as a male. The problem is if she is the only female in the job, does she use the same facilities as the other male employees or does the employer have to bear the cost of providing facilities for the one female? Only to find that after a relatively short time the female resigns from the job! The other small problem is that females do get pregnant & thus leave a job, sorry go on maternity leave & may or may not return. The employer has to find, employ somebody to cover, why a small employer may not be able to afford to do. Going back to the original question, yes there is most cases equality in the workplace, but females cannot have their cake & eat it.
