LONDON: London’s investment banks are struggling to shrink the gender pay gap, with women making up less than a fifth of top earners.

Female bankers made up on average just 15.5% of the top quarter of earners at a sample of 10 securities units in the City of London, according to government data compiled as of April 5, 2021. That’s up only slightly from 2020’s average of 14.9%.
