  <description><![CDATA[I would add that women returners should also be supported back to work because they face double-discrimination of both age and sex - older women who worked, prior to full-time family responsibilites, at professional-level find that they can no longer re-enter at a similar level to their last employment because women already working in these more responsible roles are more valued by employers.  However, older (previously professional) women also face obstacles to obtaining lower pay-scale work when returning because they are viewed as too experienced and younger highly competitive women can be quite bullying towards older women working a the same level or even under them.  There is a working-women's culture which devalues women who have taken time-out of employment to care for others.]]></description>
