Job security 'lower for UK women'

The UK was ranked 18th out of 27 Organisation for Economic Co-operation Development (OECD) countries in 2011 on five indicators of female economic empowerment, such as equality of earnings with men, although improvements had been made over previous years, said the report by PwC.
