摘要

赋予妇女权力是维持经济并最终提高男性和女性、其家庭、社区和整个社会生活质量的组成部分(Ackermann&Velelo,2013;妇女署,2017年)。从南非的统计数据中可以明显看出,女性越来越多地进入工作场所,占劳动力的43.8%(南非统计局,2018),因此对经济做出了重大贡献。这种倾向可归因于多种原因。Barker(2007)认为,主要原因是出生率下降,女性对男性就业的依赖减少(原因包括伴侣死亡、男性失业、离婚或单亲),以及受过正规教育的女性人数增加。此外,由于性别歧视的减少,薪酬和就业机会的增加是劳动力中妇女人数激增的因素。由于性别是以二元方式看待的,女性被视为“其他”,而不是平等的(Acker,1990)。在南非,统计数据证实了这一点,显示劳动力对男性是友善的,与女性相比,男性更有可能从事有偿工作。正如扩大的失业定义所解释的那样,女性比男性高7.5%(南非统计局,2018)。2019年,女性和男性的失业率估计分别为31.3%和27.2%(南非统计局,2019年)。此外,数据显示,性别平等仍低于定向的一半:尽管全球在性别平等方面取得了重大进展,但与大多数男性相比,女性的政治影响力、领导职位和对职业生涯的控制权仍然较小。在安保行业等男性占主导地位的工作环境中,性别不平等现象十分明显。

Doing gender well: Women’s perceptions on gender equality and career progression in the South African security industry
Women empowerment is integral for sustaining economies and ultimately improving the quality of life for men and women, their families, communities and society at large (Ackermann & Velelo, 2013; UN Women, 2017). As is evident in South African statistics, women are increasingly entering the workplace, constituting 43.8% of the labour force (Statistics South Africa, 2018), and are, thus, contributing significantly towards the economy. This incline is attributed to a variety of reasons. Barker (2007) suggested the primary reasons to be the declining birth rate, the decrease of women being dependent on employed men (for reasons such as death of partners, unemployment of men, divorce or single parenthood), as well as an increasing number of formally educated women. In addition, the increase in remuneration and access to jobs, because of the decrease in gender discrimination, are contributing factors to the proliferation of women in the labour force. As gender is viewed in a binary way, the female is treated as ‘other’ and not as equal (Acker, 1990). In South Africa, statistics substantiate this by revealing that the workforce is benign to men, and that men are more likely to be in paid employment when compared with women. As explained by the expanded definition of unemployment, females account for 7.5% points higher than males (Statistics South Africa, 2018). In 2019, the rates of unemployment were estimated to be 31.3% and 27.2% amongst women and men, respectively (Statistics South Africa, 2019). Furthermore, the data reveal that gender equality is still below the halfway mark for Orientation: Although significant progress has been made globally in gender equality, women still occupy less political influence, fewer leadership positions and yield less control over their careers than most men. Gender inequality is evident in male-dominated work environments such as the security industry.
