How job ads shape gender and racial segregation in the UK workforce – new study
https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1067900
INTRO: In the UK, equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) language in job advertisements (ads) could unintentionally have the reverse effect on attempts to create a more gender-balanced workplace, says a new study led by Lancaster University.
The study also shows that actively using EDI language designed to appeal to racial minorities in job ads is not working.
Workforces with a larger share of women tend to include language associated with family-friendly policies and flexible work arrangements in job ads. Such language, the study suggests, tends to appeal more to female rather than male applicants, which, in turn, intensifies gender segregation in these workforces.
While workforces with a larger share of racial minority workers tend to include more EDI policy pledges and language signalling workplace EDI culture in job ads, such pledges and language have little impact on workforce racial composition, says the research.
The study, ‘Language in job advertisements and the reproduction of labour force gender and racial segregation’, is published in PNAS Nexus – an official journal of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America.
The findings provide a labour-market-wide audit of how gender/EDI language in job ads helps shape workforce gender/racial composition, as well as how labour force gender/racial composition influences gender/EDI language in job ads... (MORE - details, no ads)

Supposedly not due to being fired or let go. Another speculation is that she might be pregnant (married in 2024) and thereby going into SAHM mode. (Doesn't sound like it, though, and it would be far too early, anyway.)
