site.btaWomen Stand Out with Business Qualities - BBSS Gallup Int'l Poll

Sofia, February 25 (BTA) - BBSS Gallup International found that women are more reliable than men but are underestimated. Many business qualities are more pronounced in women than in men, but women need encouragement to step into the role of business people.

Gallup International interviewed 801 people on the telephone on December 14-16 in a poll commissioned by "Zhenata Dnes" (Woman Today) magazine.

Asked about specific qualities, 75 per cent of respondents say women are more self-disciplined than men, 69 per cent agree women show stronger loyalty and dedication, 65 per cent say women are more reliable loan payers, and 56 per cent say women are less corrupt. The rest disagree or say they don't know.

Opinion is divided almost evenly at 48/47 per cent between those who do or don't agree that women are more thrifty.
