Female job seekers, including those looking for London jobs, are benefiting from current labour market demands, it has been claimed.
According to John Philpott, chief economist at the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, there was a quarterly increase in part-time employment for women for the three months ending in August.
Mr Philpott suggested that this rise is due to a upturn in part-time employment and temporary jobs, which are often given to female workers. He commented: "Women are the main beneficiaries of a labour market where part-time work is rising while full-time jobs continue to be cut."
The expert went on to say that the CIPD predicts the rate of male unemployment will exceed ten per cent in 2010.
