Camila Cavendish (FT) makes an interesting point on the persistant gendered division of labour:

'while there are many programmes encouraging more girls to study STEM subjects, there doesn’t seem to be much equivalent encouraging boys to take English or nursing'...

This seems like an open goal; getting more males into 'traditional' female roles would help the gender balance & might also reduce aspects of gendered discrimination via the experience of work?

a win-win policy?
