Women over 50 in Scotland facing significant barriers to their pay and progression in the workplace

19 July 2022

Today the Fair Work Convention, an independent body promoting and advocating fair work in Scotland, published a research report titled 'Exploration of the pay and career progression experiences of women aged over 50 in Scotland'.

The National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) were commissioned to undertake the research and have now reported their findings drawn from a series of interviews with women workers and employers.
