Managers who think gender bias no longer exists in the workplace are more likely to value male employees over women and give them higher wages, a study found. The researchers conducted two separate studies to determine what the key drivers were behind gender bias in veterinary clinics. The researchers also found that vets were undecided when asked whether gender bias still existed within their profession. In the UK, the gender pay gap has fallen from 17.8 per cent in 2018 to 17.3 per cent in 2019, according to the Office for National Statistics. Thus, he added, 'those who mistakenly think gender bias is no longer an issue become the highest risk for perpetuating it.'
