<![CDATA[Sometimes the small things matter; it seems that Govt.]]>Sometimes the small things matter; it seems that Govt. advice to tweak job adverts to make them more gender neutral, as a way of expanding female applicants for vacancies in male dominated sectors (and jobs) has had a slow but positive impact.

There's plenty of other structural impediments that continue to reinforce the gender pay gap, but removing disincentives from job adverts (by using more neutral language & descriptors of roles) seems to work.
