According to a survey by New Street Consulting published in August 2021, female board members in UK FTSE 100 companies are being paid 40% less than male directors. Non executive women directors in the FTSE 100 receive an average of £104,800 per year but men receive £170,400. The pay gap is probably due to women holding few of the higher paid jobs such as chair, senior independent director or committee chair.
Executive women directors in the FTSE 100 receive an average of £1.5 million per year but men receive £2.5 million. The pay gap is probably due to women holding few of the higher paid jobs such as CEO and CFO .
