ABSTRACT
If the present trend continues, there will by 1973 be nearly nine million women in employment of whom over 60 per cent will be married. Women as a whole will, then as now, form roughly 34 per cent of the working population; but the proportion of married women, excluding widows, divorced and separated women, will have risen from 52 to 60 per cent, and is expected to rise to 62 per cent of all working women by 1980.
