CIRCLE - Centre for International Research on Care, Labour and Equalities

Completed research project: Gender and Employment in Local Labour Markets (GELLM)

• Funded by European Social fund and twelve co-funding partners.

The Gender and Employment in Local Labour Markets research programme, directed by Sue Yeandle and based in Sheffield Hallam University's Centre for Social Inclusion, was co-funded through a major European Social Fund award and in collaboration with twelve English Local Authorities, the Equal Opportunities Commission, and the TUC.

The programme comprised a major programme of statistical analysis, reported in a series of Gender Profiles, six new Local Research Studies (each producing a series of local reports and a synthesis report), and an extensive programme of dissemination and gender mainstreaming activities.

All reports produced during the lifetime of the project are available electronically and a new book based on the programme, Policy for A CHANGE: local labour markets and gender equality, (2009) edited by Sue Yeandle, is available from the Policy Press, Bristol: Policy for A CHANGE: local labour markets and gender equality.
