If workplace data shows overall women numbers are fine but older women are very low in training what should be done?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Review disaggregated data by age and gender
A is correct. Even when the overall number of women is satisfactory, an inequality such as low participation of older women in training can remain hidden. Reviewing data separately by age and gender identifies which group faces barriers to access and helps plan targeted support. Looking only at the total number of women would miss this gap. Exam tip: while assessing equality, examine disaggregated data by factors such as age and gender, not just totals.
