Build a fairer workplace for young women

Young women represent a wealth of potential for employers who want a skilled, motivated, and diverse workforce. 

But too many are being held back. Each year society loses £28.2bn because young women are trapped in low-paid, insecure jobs or pushed out of work by caring responsibilities. 

By working with Young Women’s Trust, you can help change this, and we’ll help you build a stronger, more inclusive workplace. 

Why it matters

Our research shows that year after year, young women are: 

• Much worse off financially than young men 

• More likely to face discrimination at work 

• Increasingly worried about job security 

The very least young women deserve is a secure job, a decent wage, and the opportunity to fulfil their potential.  

By taking steps to ensure your workplace is fair and inclusive, you: 

• Boost motivation and loyalty 

• Attract and retain talent 

• Build the kind of workplace that drives growth and success 

Young women deserve a level playing field and you can make that happen.
