Ìý Equal pay 15 June 2005 Ìý
Are some professional women choosing lower pay and more time with their families?

A total of 564 men and women were recommended to train as future clergy in the Church of England in 2004; the highest number in six years.ÌýThe recommendations include 284 men and 280 women.
Ìý
Just as the numbers of women entering many professions overtakes men, for example in the church, medicine and the law, why are women still paid on average less than men?

Is it because the glass ceiling is still firmly in place or is it because many women choose the lower paid job within these professions because it means they can spend less time at work andÌýmore with their families?
