Gender and skills in a changing economy
Gender is clearly a crucial dimension of equality in the skills field. However, as this paper explores, the picture is not a straightforward one. Women now have higher levels of initial qualification and better access to training than men. But, this has not yet closed the pay gap, and the training situation is heavily influenced by the concentration of women in public sector employment, now under threat. The paper urges us to pay more attention to the way skills are used, rather than just to the volume and flow of qualifications.
