Numerous popular and scholarly articles have examined sexual harassment in the workplace, but have not addressed the existing or potential costs to business and society. This article examines the individual and societal costs of sexual harassment in the context of the necessity of competing in an international marketplace, projections of a labor shortage, and predictions that the decline in the productivity of workers will result in a lower standard of living for Americans. A discussion of the efficacy of current social policy in addressing the issue follows, as do recommendations to address the macroeconomic consequences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
