This report proposes ways to close the gender skills gap and remove the barriers faced by many women who wish to develop or fully utilise their skills. Increasing the range and level of women’s skills will help combat the UK skills deficit, improve UK productivity and reduce the pay and opportunity gap between men and women. In bringing together the skills agenda and the equalities agenda, this report seeks to throw fresh light on both and explore how decisions taken in one area may impact on the other.
