Gender and Employment in Local Labour Markets
Gender and Employment in Local Labour Markets (GELLM) Research Programme and reports
Sue Yeandle directed and devised the Gender and Employment in Local Labour Markets research programme, co-funded through a major European Social Fund award. Based at Sheffield Hallam University, the programme was developed in partnership with the Equal Opportunities Commission, the TUC and twelve English local authorities between 2003 and 2006.
Lisa Buckner led the GELLM statistical work, and Cinnamon Bennett led a GELLM study that focused upon women's careers in local authorities. Christopher Price provided research support on a variety of GELLM projects.
The programme included the following reports and publications.
