520			_aDescribes RICS activities and initiatives with regard to removing barriers to women entering and staying in the property industry. Only 10% of chartered surveyors worldwide are female with even lower figures in some areas such as construction. This compares with 13% of chartered accountants and 36% of solicitors. With the launch of the Raising the Ratio campaign in 2001 and the publication of the extensive commissioned survey "The surveying profession as a career" (J123352) in 2003 RICS has demonstrated its commitment to encouraging employers to act responsibly and provide a clear and accessible route to promotion open to women within their company or organisation. Also points out the difficulties in the industry with regard to flexible working and the retention of women after the age of 35-40. Lists some websites of value to women working in property.
