Women’s progress in labour market has stalled in the UK since the recession


Our new research reveals women in the UK are less likely to be in work, experience lower job security and greater pay inequality than their counterparts in other developed countries.

Our Women in Work Index, shows that the UK was ranked in 18th position out of a sample of 27 OECD countries in 2011 on key indicators of female economic empowerment:

  • the proportion of women in work both in absolute terms and relative to men;
  • the female unemployment rate;
  • the proportion of women in full-time employment.
