The TUC has expressed concerns that the level of female unemployment will increase beyond the current 23-year high as the government's public sector jobs cuts begin to bite.
With the proportion of women employed in the public sector having risen three times the rate of men in the past decade, women are especially vulnerable to job losses in sectors such as local government, education and the criminal justice system.
Meanwhile, the TUC said that equal pay law and business goodwill had failed to break the glass ceiling for women, following the publication of a report on the gender pay gap by the Chartered Management Institute.
