Misquote report on recent article
Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 2009-05-03 12:28
Please note that the quote from Anastasia de Waal of Civitas in the Daily Mail re women and the glass ceiling was a misquote and has since been corrected to: 'Don't be afraid to take the family with you,' the report said.
However, Anastasia de Waal of the Civitas think-tank said: 'It's not so much invisible discrimination in this case, as 'imaginary' discrimination because it's the parenting responsibilities gap which is the main issue.
'In this context it's less about a gender pay gap per se, but about a childcare gap and that is not necessarily a matter for employers.
'Women do not put themselves forward for promotion or they are not able to work long hours because they are bringing up children. The reasons for that are complex.'
