The annual Equal Pay Day causes angst amongst those concerned about the gap in earnings between men and women.
But it’s not always men who earn more:
. . . a new research report from Barclays Wealth & Investment Management found when it comes to entrepreneurs, the gender pay gap is not just diminished but is reversed altogether. Among high-net-worth female UK entrepreneurs, the average annual income stands at £382,000, 14% more than male entrepreneurs. In contrast, the average income of a high-net-worth woman who does not own her own business is £217,000, 21% lower than the corresponding average male income of £273,000. This suggests women are better rewarded in a more entrepreneurial market-driven environment where results determine the financial returns. If this be so, the lesson is clear. Women should tell their bosses where to stick their jobs and set up shop on their own account.
Simple – women do better when working for themselves; or at least women who work for themselves do better than men who work for themselves which isn’t necessarily the same thing.
