Women searching for banking graduate jobs may find that gender inequality is still apparent in the workplace.

A new study by Friends Provident and the Future Foundation reveals that Brits think employment parity is a myth, with a third of the population accepting that wage equality will not be achieved by 2020.

The report also suggests that women have different attitudes to work than men.

Some 24 per cent of women rate salary as the most important factor, compared to 37 per cent of men, and 23 per cent of women would rather work less and be paid less, compared to just 17 per cent of men.

Enjoyment at work is a top priority for women, claims the report, and one in five women would be prepared to take a salary cut in exchange for holidays.

Gillian Fox, HR director for Friends Provident, said the report demonstrates a difference between men and women’s priorities in the workplace, potentially impacting the likelihood of reaching gender equality.

"There seems to be an increasing demand from women for more flexible working hours, longer holidays and less call for higher salaries when compared to their male peers," she said.
