Meat businesses in Ireland are being asked to contribute to a global study that will create data on women in the meat industry and identify strategies for making the sector more inclusive.
Meat Business Women, the global networking group, has launched a survey seeking data on the number of women employed at different organisational levels, their level of pay as well as barriers to career progression.
We have long been frustrated by the lack of reliable data on women in the meat industry
The findings will be published in a new report on gender representation in the meat industry, to be unveiled at World Meat Congress on 12 June 2020. Meat businesses from the UK, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia and the US will be contributing to the report.
“We have long been frustrated by the lack of reliable data on women in the meat industry,” says chair of Meat Business Women Laura Ryan.
The survey will run from 16 March to 3 April and is open to companies from across the supply chain, including meat processors, packers, retailers, wholesalers and independent butchers.
Businesses can submit their responses here.
