Here, Tom Schuller examines why this happens, and asks what we can do about it. Schuller identifies the five factors which prevent women from achieving their full potential. He argues convincingly that addressing these will not only make society fairer but also make workplaces function more effectively - yet this will only happen if men change their patterns of work and attitudes to careers.
