Re: Diversity figures are meaningless without context

"Almost all populations are roughly 50:50 male:female so if only 10% of your local midwives are male, that looks bad, right? Men are clearly underrepresented and likely being discriminated against? Wrong. Only 0.3% of qualified midwives are male so a 10% figure would be far too high and indicative of rampant sex discrimination against women."

Or it indicates that men are massively discriminated against in the selection for training...

Or there is some other reason that it is a female dominated industry...
