Pillar One - Gender Disaggregated Business Data
Only by having accurate gender data across all providers (public and private) can we measure progress and demonstrate the value of more women owned businesses to the UK’s economy.
The Women's Enterprise Task Force has lobbied for gender disaggregated data to become available systematically through VAT Returns in the Inter Departmental Business Register (IDBR).
The Task Force is proud that Business Link now disaggregates its data by gender and ethnicity, giving a much clearer picture of the state of business support in the regions.
