Why Women Are Poorer Than Men and What We Can Do About It
Annabelle Williams
- There is no country in the world where women collectively earn as much as men.
- Globally only 34% of managerial positions are held by women.
- Only 1p in every e1 of venture capital funding goes to start-ups run by women.
- Research has even found that financial advisors encourage female clients into lower risk, and therefore lower return, investments in the belief that they can’t handle the risk.
- In many countries tampons and sanitary pads are seen as taxable ‘luxuries’.
- It has been found that women ask for pay rises at the same frequency as men, but are 25% less likely to be given them.
Annabelle Williams, formerly a financial journalist for The Times, uncovers the shocking realities of money in the modern world. Awareness is the first step to making change, which is why we all need to understand why women are poorer than men and what exactly we can do about it.
