This paper presents an audit of graduate recruitment websites that was jointly funded by IES Research Networks and the Council for Industry and Higher Education. Two students, one undergraduate and one postgraduate, conducted the audit to inform the research from graduates' perspectives. The Times Top 100 Graduates Employers polls UK students about who their ideal graduate employers are, then collates and showcases the results in a 'top' 100 ranking of graduate employers by their popularity among students. The web audit used this ranking to explore in more depth the qualities and characteristics of these organisations.

In November 2002, the Women and Equality Unit published Key Indicators of Women's Position in Britain (2002). It provided a set of key indicators across many aspects of women's lives, established benchmarks against which women's progress could be measured over time, and presented factual material to feed into public debate and policy-making. This report provides updates to the tables and figures presented in Key Indicators (2002), using the most recently available data at the time of writing. This publication is no longer available.
