Women's and men's job-related training participation rates are similar but women receive fewer hours of training. The training index for employer-supported training was farther away from gender balance in 1993 at 0.68 than in 1991 where it was at 0.75. This index rose from 0.69 to 0.80. This improvement in gender balance was the result both of women's chances increasing and men's chances decreasing somewhat over this time period. Gaps above or below 1.0 indicate imbalance or inequality.
Time periods vary among indicators depending on data source.
