And lets not forget that danger doesn't necessarily mean death (or at least not immediate death actually at work).

For every man killed at worked there are countless others injured and left with life shortening conditions.

Mr. Oginy

Intersting artice, especially in light of today's news that women aged 22-29 are paid a higher hourly wage than their male counterparts.

I wonder what Yvette Harman and Harriet Cooper make of that?

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/young-women-now-earn-more-than-men-2364675.html This story illustrates a number of points. The similarity of pay prior to "family formation" . The likely effect of girl's educational advantage at all stages of education. And at it's end the effects of trying to get comparability of very different jobs. In the latter women have gained in often undervalued work but men have lost out as risks get forgotten. As well as deaths men are very much more likely to have severe injuries. Parity is achieved in minor injuries.
