Women in Industries: Research on the Resistance Against Change in Eastern Cape Industries

Abstract

One of the richest yet underutilized resources in South Africa is the talent of its women. This nation has for many years squandered this talent in a shameful fashion. Most South African industries comply with the new legislation that enhances the existence of women in industries, while in previous years they were denied opportunity to enter the labour market , especially in industry. Since then the new democratic country has come to realise the need for transformation in industries, and women are entering the labour market in good numbers.
