In the survey, conducted among the association’s 259 members, 96 percent said
women are paid less than men for comparable work. Nearly two-thirds consider
their gender a factor that holds them back in their careers, and many cited a
lack of access to decision-makers, mentors or types of assignments critical for
career advancement. Entrepreneurs also felt they had limited access to funding
sources need to start a business.
“The FWA study indicates that women in finance-related careers continue to
find themselves hindered in their treatment as equal partners in the workplace,”
says Lily Klebanoff Blake, the group’s president.
When asked whether certain business conditions were better today than three
years ago, only 10 percent of women said issues of pay parity had improved,
compared with 20 percent of women in the association’s 2002 survey.
