πŸ”Έ Unpaid work limits women's careers
πŸ”Έ Gender gaps in time use narrowed in 1980s-2000s but have now stalled
πŸ”Έ Men still do little unpaid work & change is too slow

To close these gaps, we need paid parental leave, flexible work & cultural shifts.

GP contract deal to see almost Β£800m invested into global sum The BMA has agreed a deal 'in principle' for the 2025/26 GP contract that will see almost Β£800m invested into the global sum.

Substantial investment in general practice in first agreed (in principle) rather than imposed contract in years. Need to look at the detail but seems to indicate reduction in bureaucracy as well www.pulsetoday.co.uk/news/breakin...
