Simmons Students Visit Denmark and Sweden to Learn About Women in the Workforce
Professors from the Simmons School of Management took twenty students to Denmark and Sweden to explore how the countries support women in the workforce. The trip was planned after Associate Dean Patricia Deyton and Professor Cynthia Ingols took a group of students to Japan in Spring 2013. On the Japanese trip, students studied women’s involvement in the workforce and equity issues. Traditionally Japanese women leave the labor market when they get married; more recently Japanese women leave the labor market when they have their first child and they tend not to return.
In contrast to Japan, women in the Denmark and Sweden have a very high rate of participation in the labor market. The professors wanted to bring the students to these countries so that they could witness and learn firsthand what governmental and corporate policies encourage women to work.
