Robert Walters: Market Volatility in Japan Creating Need for Risk and Legal Professionals **

(Jul 30, 2013, Tokyo, /JCN Newswire via COMTEX/)According to the 2013 Robert Walters (NYSE:TW) Half-year Market Update, improvement in market confidence and recent volatility in foreign money and equity markets has created more demand for risk functions in Japan.

Despite this demand, Japanese bilinguals with experience in these areas were extremely limited in the talent pool. So while salary levels remained steady through the first half of 2013, rises are expected later in the year as competition to hire these professionals intensifies between firms.

15% of women report experiencing workplace bias in Gallup poll***

(Aug. 16, 2013, /Los Angeles Times/) Fifteen percent of American women believe they have been passed over for a promotion or some other opportunity at work because of their gender, according to new polling from Gallup, which was conducted this month and included more than 1,000 men and women nationwide. Gallup also found that 13% thought they were denied a raise at some point because they were women. There was little difference in the answers given by women of different ages and educational levels. However, liberal women were more likely to say they had suffered such discrimination than conservative or politically moderate women, the poll showed. Among liberal women, 23% told Gallup that their gender had caused them to miss out on a promotion or work opportunity, compared with 10% of conservatives and 13% of moderates. Though most women did not think they had ever faced unfair treatment, women were still more likely than men to think their gender had hurt them at work: Only 8% of men surveyed thought they hadn't gotten a promotion for that reason, and a mere 4% thought it stopped them from getting a raise.

Aon Hewitt survey: women save less for retirement than men**

(Aug.16, 2013, /Balkans.com/) A new report from Aon Hewitt, the global talent, retirement and health solutions business of Aon plc (NYSE: AON), shows that women save less for retirement and are more likely to default on loans taken out of their retirement savings than their male counterparts. These savings and investing habits, coupled with longer life expectancies, play a critical role in why women are less likely than men to be able to meet their financial needs in retirement. Aon Hewitt's analysis of more than 140 defined contribution plans representing 3.5 million eligible employees shows that while women are participating in their employers' defined contribution plans at the same rates as men, they save less—an average of 6.9 percent of pay, compared to 7.6 percent for men. In addition, nearly a third (31%) of women contribute below the company match threshold, compared to just a quarter of men. As a result, women have average plan balances that are significantly less than men, consistently across all salary ranges. Overall, the average plan balance for women is $59,300, compared to $100,000 for men.

(Aug. 12, 2013, /staffingindustry.com/)South African employment fell sharply during July, as the economy shed more than 37,000 jobs, making it the third worst performing month since the 2009 global financial crisis, according to the Adcorp Employment Index.Jobs were shed in both permanent and temporary (or non-permanent) positions with job losses amounting to 26,189 and 11,559, respectively. Since January 2013, the formal sector has shed 146,638 jobs whereas the informal sector has created 42,906 jobs. Losses were observed in manufacturing, transport, construction and financial services, amounting to 18,000 job losses between them. Loane Sharp, Adcorp’s labour economist, commented: “The labour market’s performance is likely to have a significant effect on the 2014 general election. At present, 17.6% of the national workforce is involuntarily dismissed each quarter. It is a South African strength that mobility in the labour market is high and that most of those who are dismissed find alternative work. However, the dismissal and resignation rates create a pervasive sense of insecurity and vulnerability among the country’s 13.5 million workers, which does not bode well for the ruling party’s performance in next year’s election.”
