Abstract
Women and men have unequal chances of obtaining training. Estimates of market discrimination in access to training are obtained using the 1984 Labour Force Survey. These show that young women suffer considerable discrimination, their chances of receiving training being reduced by a third or more, and their chances of receiving job‐specific training being reduced by one‐half or more, in comparison with young men. By contrast, older women either suffer much less discrimination or are even slightly favoured in comparison with older men.Keywords
