Gender pay gap increases for charity executives
An increase in the pay rate gap between men and women working as charity chief executives has been noted.
In the 2008-09 pay survey carried out by the Association of Chief Executives at Voluntary Organisations (Acevo), it was revealed that the average pay for a male chief executive in the third sector increased by eight per cent over the course of last year.
However, only a five per cent rise was noted for women.
As such, the typical pay difference between males and females is at £11,000, up from the £8,700 recorded in 2007.
In addition, the study showed that there are more than twice as many male as female chief executives in charge of a charity that has an annual income of more than £5 million, with women shown to be less likely as a whole to be the head of such a third sector body.
Stephen Bubb, chief executive of Acevo, said: "It is shameful that there is a growing gender gap in a sector that champions social justice."
The study could be of interest to those looking to improve talent management.
Acevo also recently revealed that chief executives at small charities saw a 23 per cent rise in salary from 2006 to 2007.
