"The Third Shift." - E-News - women and distance education - Brief Article
Training & Development, Feb, 2002
Distance education is harder on women than on men, says a recent report by the American Association of University Women. The report, "The Third Shift," says that U.S. women taking distance-education classes must squeeze study and online time into their day in addition to the first and second shifts of a fulltime job, homemaking, and child care. Women compose the majority of online learners, says the report, and often choose distance education in order to stay home with their children or because they feel uncomfortable in a classroom of younger students.
