The Prime Minister announced in July 2004 the creation of a Women and Work Commission to examine the problem of the gender pay gap and other issues affecting women's employment including how men's and women's education and skills affect which jobs they can get; promotion and career progression; women's experiences in the job market before and after having children and the different experiences of women working full-time and part-time.
Jenni Murray discusses the recommendations of the commission with the Minister Tessa Jowell and the chairwoman Baroness Margaret Prosser.
