TUC warns - women will bear brunt of public spending cuts‏

On the first day of the 2010 TUC Women’s conference, TUC has issued a stark warning that deep public spending cuts would lead to heavy job losses for women and substantially reduce their income in retirement. http://www.tuc.org.uk/equality/tuc-17673-f0.cfm

A new TUC report - Women and the Recession - One Year On - warns that early public spending cuts would hit female employment hardest because around four in ten women work in public sector occupations, compared to less than two in ten men.
