Our economy has been the focus for the past five years and it is the only game in town in the 2015 General Election.  But where are women’s voices in this debate?

There may be more women in work than ever before and the pay gap is closing, but where is the evidence that women are benefitting from the so called “upturn”?

From apprenticeships to women on boards, public spending cuts and NHS privatisation, how the economy works affects how gender equal our society is.
