A recent survey has established that there are only a very few rich women among the the world’s top 8 richest countries.
London School of Economics conducted this survey/research.
The survey reveals that there is still a huge gender discrimination in the high-salary earners` segment.
The survey was conducted in 8 countries - Spain, Denmark, Italy, Canada, New Zealand, Britain, Australia, and Norway.
The survey/analysis was conducted based on the data regarding the Income Tax paid.
It was found that in these 8 countries that from the tax paid by the 10 percent of the top income taxpayers, the share by the women amounted to less than 3 percent.
The joint Editor of this survey, Alexandra Kasariko explained that though most of the women pursue working careers, only very few succeed in reaching the very top.
Though the names of women have started appearing in the list of wealthiest people in the world, the share of the women has not been appreciable.
