This statistic shows the distribution of women and men employed at selected retailers in the top pay quartile in the United Kingdom (UK) in the financial year 2018/19. Of the retailers included, the Co-operative Group had the lowest share of women in the top pay quartile, at **** percent. Marks & Spencer, Primark and John Lewis are three retailers which have more women than men in the highest pay quartile, with shares of ** percent, **** percent and 44percent, respectively .
Since retail is a female dominated industry, there tends to be a higher share of women in higher paid positions than in other industries such as finance and insurance, and the professional, scientific and technical sectors. In some of the UK's largest banks, the share of women in the top pay quartile is as low as ** percent.
