Karen Dalziel, the editor of Woman’s Hour, said the poll’s findings suggest there is “still work to be done” to achieve equality between men and women. “This poll suggests that while progress has undoubtedly been made, there is still work to be done.” Positively, 50 per cent of women said equality between men and women is better now than it was ten years ago. The GEM report also found that the gap between average earnings of men and women is the lowest level since records began, but still sits at 17.9 per cent. When asked by the BBC’s survey about how a more equal future could be achieved, half of the respondents said they want exactly the same treatment as men, while 36 per cent said the path to equality lines in the differences between men and women being embraced.
