Income Inequality
- Question
- My Lords, how can the Government continue to support flexibility in the workplace, which has been particularly important in increasing women’s participation, given the current economic circumstances?
- Answer
-
My Lords, we take pride in the increased flexibility in our economy, and that is a reflection of flexibility at the place of work. It is of particular significance to women, who frequently require flexible hours. We all recognise that over the past decade or so that has been one of the more significant developments in the workplace, and we will seek to sustain that development.
