Summary:Women's relatively poor representation in the top and middle levels of business necessitates renewed attention and action. Labor market demands are changing, and two major forces prevail: more women are looking for new fields of employment, and more businesses are seeking "qualified and promotable" women. Cooperative education programs are needed to channel women's interests into these new areas. Attention should also be paid to women already on the payrolls of business firms and "mature women returnees" to the work force through the development of continuing education programs. Women's organizations must also serve an important supportive role to help more women prepare for and share in the expanding opportunities of business and industry. (MW)
