PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Females: Employment (22 July 2019)

Female employment rates are at a record high, however women are still over three times as likely as men to work part-time.

On the 3rd July 2019, we launched ‘Gender Equality at every stage: a Roadmap for Change’ setting out government action to address this and other persistent gendered barriers at every life stage. Actions include: supporting employers to promote gender-balanced progression in the workplace; continuing to develop the evidence base on what works through our Workplace & Gender Equality Programme; and working with local partners to help those who have taken time out for caring identify opportunities to return to work.
