<p>We are committed to ensuring that everyone – irrespective of their gender – is
able to enter work, progress in work and realise financial security. We are proud
that the female employment rate is at a record high. And we are looking to build on
this by making Universal Credit better for lone parents (90% of whom are women), and
exploring how we can support those in low-paid employment to increase their earnings
through a programme of research and testing, looking into barriers to progression
(for women in particular), and what works to tackle them.</p>
