CULTURE
Read the following text about gender equality in the United Kingdom and
answer the questions.
As a high - income country, the United Kingdom has made a remarkable progress in
gender equality.
First, girls perform better than boys at all levels of education. At university level, there are
more women than men in full - time undergraduate courses. In addition, men and women
equally gain first class degrees.
Second, according to a survey in 2012, women make up 47 per cent of the British
workforce. Only 35 per cent of women aged 16 to 64 are now not working.
However, the United Kingdom still faces challenges in gender equality. Millions of women
and girls experience domestic violence every year. The gap in full - time wage between
men and women is 10 per cent and most of the people in low - paid jobs are women.
