La Formación continua en el sector financiero

Implicaciones para las mujeres de más de 45 años

Abstract

The aim of this study is to describe the tendencies in professional training which are currently
taking place within financial sector, especially as they apply to women —aged between 45 and 55—
who have been working for more than twenty years in low qualification jobs. The intention has been
to show that what determines who receives company training is very much related to costs and
returns in human investment. Two major questions make up the background of the article: Firstly
what characteristics define and distinguish the generation of women we refer to? Once the
classification has been established the question is: Do these women benefit from their professional
training programmes? And if not, why not?
