It isn't that women cannot do the job's it's just more difficult to find a Job, if you are on a dependant pass, in fact I don't think i have heard of any women, successfully getting a fulltime, job here in Singapore., on EP, but self employed maybe.NativeTexan wrote:My wife works in high-tech marketing here in the US, but works constantly with her colleagues in Singapore. Many of them are women, and the director for the whole of consumer marketing for the APJ region is a woman as well. There don't seem to be problems with women having strong career prospects and so on.
At least, this appears to be true in high-tech and in marketing. Beyond that your mileage may vary and maybe others here have insight...
Interesting -- my wife is in the process of lining up job opportunties in Singapore from here in the US and she has leads into 4 positions with her current company, 3 potential positions at 2 other companies, and is lining up more via a couple of headhunters. Either they're blowing smoke up our backsides or there are definitely jobs for well-qualified women in Singapore. At least there had better be!ksl wrote:It isn't that women cannot do the job's it's just more difficult to find a Job, if you are on a dependant pass, in fact I don't think i have heard of any women, successfully getting a fulltime, job here in Singapore., on EP, but self employed maybe.NativeTexan wrote:My wife works in high-tech marketing here in the US, but works constantly with her colleagues in Singapore.

ksl, you're just joking. There are some women who work because it gives them a sense of accomplishment.ksl wrote:Because it's the biggest joke ever!
