39. A report by EHRC in 2019 noted that "Scotland is the only country where female apprenticeship starts remain lower than males. It is noted in the report that there is a significant "gendered spend" on apprenticeships in Scotland with spend per male apprentice being 53% higher than for female apprentices. This reflects the significant and persistent levels of occupational segregation in the Scottish apprenticeships programme, as well as wider trends in employment, given that in Scotland, apprenticeships are only awarded to those already in employment". In the two largest sectors, Construction and Engineering, 1.6% and 2.1% respectively of apprenticeship starts were female in 2011, while 0.8% of Child Care and 16% of Business and Administration starts were male.

73. In respect of this protected characteristic, a body subject to the Public Sector Equality Duty (which includes Scottish Government) only needs to comply with the first need of the duty (to eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited by or under the Equality Act 2010) and only in relation to work. This is because the parts of the Act covering services and public functions, premises, education etc. do not apply to that protected characteristic. Equality impact assessment within the Scottish Government does not require assessment against the protected characteristic of Marriage and Civil Partnership unless the policy or practice relates to work, for example HR policies and practices.
