AQA U3 - Equality
http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_9086000/9086752.stm
This article considers the issue of how the Government's spending review affects women.
60% of public sector jos are taken by women, jobs in the 'caring' professions particularly. Pay is often low but conditions of service create the flexibility for women to fit work around raising children.
Arguments include whether Childcare services add anything to GDP follow: the question asked is whether such services are productive?
Interesting but don't expect the arguments to fit easily with orthodox economic theory!
