Inequalities also persist outside the classroom, where women, despite greater educational attainment, experience lower employment rates and often receive lower salaries than men with similar levels of education. Nonetheless, the many measures taken by countries have brought some encouraging signs of progress. However, more work is needed to ensure that improvements in education are also reflected in improvements once boys and girls transition into the world of work.PPN: PPN: 1893141756Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-13-SOC-ebook | ZDB-13-SOC | BSZ-13-SOC-educationNo physical items for this record
