• reduce the pay and opportunity gap between men and women
• increase the number of women training and working in science, engineering and technology (SET)
• alleviate the skills shortages in SET
• increased participation in these sectors
• achieve occupational desegregation
• help ‘work-life balance’
• equalize the achievement gap at school and university and in qualification
• increase access to ‘adult education and training’.
