Unblocking the Pipeline: Gender and Employability in Scotland

Apr 14, 2016: This paper represents Engender’s ï¬rst thoughts on the challenge of gendering employability. It sets out the gendered context in which employability policy and programmes must operate. It brieï¬‚y describes the ways in which women’s experiences of the labour market, of education and skills, and of social security are different. It then raises some speciï¬c issues about how employability work in Scotland is developing, before ï¬nally making some recommendations on how this could be better gendered.
