Sustainable Business Practices Among Women-Led Enterprises

  Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword—it’s a necessity for businesses seeking to thrive in today’s environmentally conscious world. Women-led enterprises are at the forefront of this movement, driving innovative solutions and ethical practices that prioritize people, planet, and profit.   Why Sustainability Matters in Business   Sustainability involves creating strategies that meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.

Jobs That Women Can Get A Good Loan



In today's business post, I want to suggest some jobs generally associated with a good salary and/or job security that can potentially increase the chances of getting a good loan, regardless of gender. Someone who works for hours every day wants to get paid for it, right? It is a well-known fact that women, especially in the business world, are treated unfairly by being paid less than men for the same job. As new-generation businesswomen, we hope that one day this injustice will be eliminated.

Still, there are occupations where women receive high salaries. These might include:


1. Physician/Surgeon

2. Dentist

3. Lawyer

4. Engineer (e.g. Petroleum, Chemical, Aerospace)

5. IT Manager/Database Administrator

6. Senior HR Manager/Director

7. Marketing Manager/Director

8. Financial Manager/Director

9. Sales Manager/Director

10. CEO/Executive Director

Again, this list is not comprehensive, and individual qualifications and experiences may play a role in the loan qualification process. It's important to seek advice from finance professionals and legal experts regarding loans and financial matters.



Statistics:

The statistics may vary depending on the country, region, industry, and other factors. However, I can provide some general information on gender distribution in the listed professions based on available data.

  1. Physician/Surgeon: According to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), in the United States in 2020, women comprised 36% of active physicians and 39% of active residents and fellows. However, the percentage of women in the field has been steadily increasing over the past decades.

  2. Dentist: The American Dental Association (ADA) reported that as of 2019, 34% of dentists in the US were women. This percentage has also been gradually increasing.

  3. Lawyer: According to the American Bar Association (ABA), as of 2020, 38% of lawyers in the US were women. However, women are underrepresented in higher-paying positions and in certain areas of law such as litigation and corporate law.

  4. Engineer: Women make up only about 13% of the engineering workforce in the US, according to the National Science Foundation (NSF) 2019 data. However, some engineering fields have higher female representation, such as environmental engineering (39%) and biomedical engineering (24%).

  5. IT Manager/Database Administrator: According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), as of 2020, women accounted for 26% of computer and information systems managers and 44% of database administrators.

  6. Senior HR Manager/Director: According to a 2019 report by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), women held 72% of HR manager positions in the US.

  7. Marketing Manager/Director: As of 2019, women made up 59% of marketing and sales managers in the US, according to the BLS.

  8. Financial Manager/Director: The BLS reported that women accounted for 43% of financial managers in the US as of 2020.

  9. Sales Manager/Director: According to the BLS, women held 38% of sales manager positions in the US as of 2020.

  10. CEO/Executive Director: Women held only about 7.4% of CEO positions in Fortune 500 companies in the US in 2020, according to Catalyst, a nonprofit research organization. However, the percentage of women in CEO positions has been gradually increasing over the past years.
