Women in Television
Skillset research has highlighted a range of issues around the progression and retention of women in the TV industry.
Nearly 5,000 women left the TV industry between 2006 and 2009, compared with just 750 men. 75% of men in TV are aged 35 or over compared to just 52% of women.
You can find out more about the research below and also link through to the Funding for Training that is available - we're committed to awarding at least 50% of this to women.
