英國基金業男女獎金差距達70%

Women working at UK asset managers receive bonuses that are as much as 70 per cent below their male colleagues in revelations that will pile pressure on a sector that has been branded “pale, male and stale” to tackle its wide gender pay gap.

在英國資產管理公司工作的女性獲得的獎金比男性同事低70%，這一消息將對一個被貼上“白人、男性和陳腐”標籤的行業加大壓力，推動它解決巨大的男女薪酬差距。

According to initial data that companies have filed to comply with new UK rules, salaries for women working in the fund industry are up to 40 per cent less than those paid to men, while the gap on bonuses is up to 72 per cent.

根據企業爲遵守英國新規而申報的初步數據，在基金行業工作的女性薪資比男性薪資低40%，而獎金的差距則高達72%。

Fund managers linked the difference in pay to the lack of senior women in their organisations, as well as more women working part-time.
