Younger British women are more likely to have more stereotypical views about traditional jobs than older women, according to new research. The Young Women's Trust, a charity that supports struggling young females, found one in three women aged 18 to 30 think men are better suited to being an IT technician compared with 10% of women aged 31 and over.Similarly, while 66% of older women thought people of both genders could be a plumber, only 40% of younger women agreed.The charity questioned 2693 women.A third of them thought nursing was better suited to women than men; just 13% of older women felt the same.The study was conducted almost 100 years after women first got the vote in Britain and 25 years after the Equal Pay Act.It found young women believe that traditional male roles are within their reach.Almost a third thought they were "irresponsible to want to work" if they were a parent of young children, compared with 17% of older women."This is not just Generation Austerity," said Carole Easton, CEO of the trust."For young women this is a generation where the clock is being turned back on the progress made for women's equality."Young women are struggling to get into the job market and too many are stuck on low pay or no pay."With their choices limited they are being forced back into traditional roles with few opportunities to enter and progress in the job market."Despite what they really want to do, staying at home may be the only option and they know it."A further third of young women said they felt limited in their choice of career and were worried about their job security.Four out of 10 worried about not having enough paid working hours and 21% had been offered zero-hour contracts.Women were more likely than young men to say they were worried about the future.The trust said this was all linked to the wider employment picture in the UK, where almost 500000 women aged 16 to 24 a re not in employment, education or trainingThe organisation is now calling for increased free childcare provision to help working mothers and increased enforcement of the national minimum wage."YWT [the trust] is calling for improved recruitment and employment practices to attract and retain young women in a broader range of employment opportunities," said Easton. ..
