Women are closing the gender gap on men in health and education but still cannot get a firm foot in the political and business area as revealed by the Global Gender Gap Report 2011.
The Open University has published a review based on its experience with the UKRC in assisting women in returning to careers in Information, Computing and Technology.
The Special report addresses the gender-based knowledge divide with a special focus on girls and women and workforce training.
