Hispanic owning businesses are up 34% in 10 years but many entrepreneurs feel the odds are stacked against them
The economy over the past few years has been good for many business owners. But few groups have succeeded as much as Latino entrepreneurs. In fact, the number of Latino business owners has surged over the past decade, outpacing any other ethnic group. That’s according to a new study from the Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative, a research and education collaboration between Stanford University and the Latino Business Action Network housed at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

EU revives plans for mandatory quotas of women on company boards
European-listed firms could face fines if fewer than 40% of their non-executive board seats are taken by women
The European Union executive is reviving plans for mandatory quotas of women on company boards, amid slowing progress towards gender equality among top management.
The EU commissioner for equality, Helena Dalli, told journalists that quotas “can be a very ugly word” but were also “a necessary evil, in the sense we have to use quotas because otherwise we will wait another 100 years for things to change by themselves”.

Japan prefecture to stop hiring female 'tea squad' for meetings
Saitama assembly hopes move will reflect changing attitudes towards women in workplaces
A local government assembly is attempting to shake up Japan’s conservative workplace culture by ending the custom of employing women to serve tea at meetings.
Few official gatherings in Japan have properly begun until female employees – known collectively as the ochakumi (“tea squad”) – have placed cups of green tea in front of their invariably male senior colleagues, occasionally accompanied by something sweet.

Universities traumatise student student sexual misconduct survivors by mishandling cases | Anna Bull and Tiffany Page
It’s time for universities to overhaul their sexual misconduct complaints processes to protect their students
Sexual harassment complaints processes in universities are a feminist issue. Our research has shown that these processes systematically place (mainly female) survivors of sexual misconduct at a disadvantage compared to those (mainly men) accused of sexual misconduct.
Why? Because in staff-student sexual misconduct complaints, students are silenced. They have no right to see evidence submitted against them, to attend a hearing into their complaint, to know the full outcome or to appeal it. Universities have even been known to reach confidential settlements with staff members without the student having any input.

Pay, not cleaning, is the problem | Letters
There’s nothing wrong with hiring domestic help – just don’t pay women less than men
Why is it exploitative to hire someone to clean the home (“I’m a feminist but I hired a cleaner”, Focus), which is traditional women’s work, but OK to hire someone to do traditional men’s work – mowing the lawn, cleaning the car, replacing roof tiles, house painting etc? It isn’t just cleaners who are badly paid; some of my neighbours employ male Polish gardeners for much the same wages as cleaners. Many people (it’s not just women) hire a cleaner because they are working themselves and have children who need their parents’ free time.
Domestic cleaning is a respectable job that deserves decent pay and conditions, but these are increasingly a luxury across the economy now. The figures quoted by feminist academic Arianne Shahvisi would be way above the income of many mothers of young children trying to return to work, but unable to do so because they don’t earn enough to break even paying for childcare, let alone a cleaner.
