Self-fulfillment is most often the reason that most people go into heath care and teaching, which happen to be two of the five fields most occupied by women. Also important to note is over 60 percent of students in health care studies at colleges and universities are female.
Basically, the bottom line is that the amount of self-fulfillment is more important than the size of the salary to most women.
The path that women have traveled to become a larger part of the workforce has widened to let more pass, and wider it continues to grow. Their salaries are still smaller than they could be, but the self-fulfillment that they are getting is increasing. As women become more educated, their impact on employment becomes more noticeable. With the inspirational words of Ms. Donlon “Gender equality is still an ongoing concern and we need to be diligent and pro-active in breaking down every remaining barrier - even when (and probably especially! when) it's not stated or overt.”

Opened My Eyes Joel Harding | Oct 1st, 2001
I really liked the article, the stats, particularly 80% women in 2000 are in the workforce, surprised me, I'm glad to hear so many are working. Family, then career is my personal motto, but it opened my eyes to how many are now in the workplace, the more the better, we need an equal balance of sexes.
