Women are rarely bosses of major companies.The fact remains that most men are in leading companies than women.According to the Independent online{2016} Jon Stone stated that women in their 20's have seen the gap halve to 5%.
This draws to conclusion that gender inequality is still very much present in Britain society.

GENDER INEQUALITY:Discrimination in the workplace plays a big part in gender inequality in the UK. This is especially the case when it comes to females in key leadership positions. Evidence from the Telegraph (2016) states that “British women are lagging behind men holding less than 30% of positions of power and influence”. Even though women have broken the glass ceiling and have had certain positions that are of high authority, the Telegraph article also states that women still receive high levels of online and media abuse. This provides clear evidence for the fact that gender inequality is still present in the UK.By: Safiyyah Hussain

Suicide rates show an inequality in genders talking about mental health problems. There is a clear difference in the amount of males to females committing suicide in the UK. According to Samaritans (2016) overall male suicide rates have decreased by 5.6% in the UK but are still higher, overall, than female suicide rates with 16.8 men in 100,000 and 5.2 women in 100,000 committing suicide.  Moore (2001) suggested this could be contributed to men not reporting incidents such as domestic violence; this could also be attributed to ‘typical’ stereotype of men being breadwinners. This evidence shows there is a clear divide that leaves men at a disadvantage due to gender stereotypes, and shows the inequality of men and women talking about their mental health problems.

Another clear area of gender inequality in the UK is its Parliament, as even after the 2017 election women still make up only 32% of British MPs. Eichler (2017) discusses the fact that the UK Government, although admitting that it needed to take steps to create a balanced parliament in terms of gender equality, rejected the suggestions to increase female representatives made by the Women and Equalities committee last year. Instead, they delayed acting by insisting that it was for the political parties to ensure diversity in representation, and such avoidance of leading from the front on issues of gender inequality suggests a lack of real motivation to even the balance.

Gender inequality in British society affects various areas including education. According to The Independent (2017) UCAS has shown that women in the UK are 35% more likely to go to university than men. According to data released on the number of people accepted to over 150 universities, there were a third less men accepted on courses than women. They say that a study in 2015 has shown women to outnumber men in 112 subjects out of total 180. This evidence shows that gender inequality is still an issue in education throughout the UK.

Equality in sport still seems to be an area in which the UK is still not making any headway. Women of the UK are still under represented and getting a bad deal in UK sport. A BBC Study (2014) has found that, in 30% of the sports looked at men received more prize money than women. It is clear that the UK still has a lot of work to do before we can say that UK sport is accessible and fair for all.

Gender equality seems to still be a big problem in Britain, with a significant pay difference between men and women in the work place. The Guardian (2017) evidences that within 5 years the pay gap from men to women has changed as little as 1.1%, decreasing from 10.5% till 9.4%, however working part time there is an 18.1% difference that shows men and women earn less on an hourly rate compared to a full time worker, with the majority of part time workers being female. On the contrary female part time workers earn 6% percent more than male part time workers, with the pay gap for part time workers in 2016 at -6%. These figures are confirming that there is still discrimination in the work place regarding gender and pay.
