The Needs of the Spanish Speaking Mujer [Woman] in Woman-Manpower Training Programs.
Nieto-Gomez, Anna
Although the Spanish Speaking woman is usually considered to be outside the labor market, 36 percent of the 52 percent Spanish Speaking women were in the labor force in March 1972. These women suffer economic-sexist discrimination due to ascription of work according to sex and race by a racial-sexual hierarchy existing within the traditional feminine occupations. When defining women's employment needs in manpower programs, it is vital that the needs be assessed according to the different ethnic group as well as their similarities. Federal programs for minorities are usually directed at Anglo and Black women or the Spanish Speaking people in general, but they do not usually apply to the Spanish Speaking woman. This paper gives recommendations in the areas of research, curriculum development, supportive services, staff development, and strategies for affrimative action related to woman-manpower programs and the economic needs of the Spanish Speaking woman. Among these are: (1) research should include information defining these women's role in the total labor market process at the city, county, State, and Federal levels; (2) curriculum development for woman-manpower training programs should be directed at their job-related needs; (3) bilingual-bicultural supportive services should be provided to allow them to take advantage of employment opportunities.
