Gender equality in the United Kingdom

As a high-income country, the United Kingdom has made a remarkable progress in gender equality.
First, girls perform better than boys at all levels of education. At university level, there are more women than men in full-time undergraduate courses. In addition, men and women equally gain first class degrees.
Second, according to a survey in 2012, women make up 47 per cent of the British workforce. Only 35 per cent of women aged 16 to 64 are now not working.
However, the United Kingdom still faces challenges in gender equality. Millions of women and girls experience domestic violence every year. The gap in full-time wage between men and women is 10 per cent and most of the people in low-paid jobs are women.
