The global recession has caused more men than women lose their jobs around the world, following a pattern already well established in the United States, according to research released on Friday.
Men held more of the jobs lost in nearly all the nations where executives were surveyed by Accenture, a management consulting firm.
In India, executives said 95 percent of their layoffs were men; in France men accounted for 71 percent of job losses. The survey, conducted between November 2009 and mid-February 2010, asked executives how many men and women had been fired or laid off in the preceding year.
Executives also fired more men than women in Australia, Canada, Germany, Mexico, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, it said. In the United States, men held 54 percent of jobs lost to women’s 46 percent.
