If women workers are included in a safety committee but management alone makes decisions what gap exists?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Gap between token participation and real decision-making power
Merely placing women workers on a committee is not enough. When management alone takes decisions, women’s presence is token participation rather than real decision-making power. Option C would apply only if women and management shared leadership, which is not the case here. Exam tip: Along with representation, check whether members have actual authority to influence decisions.
