Women are underrepresented in the UK television industry based on an analysis of employment data. The number of women working in the industry has declined significantly in recent years, with nearly 5 times as many women as men leaving TV jobs between 2006 and 2009. Women tend to hold lower-paying jobs and are less likely to be in leadership positions or creative roles compared to men. Younger women are also underrepresented in the industry relative to their presence in the overall UK workforce.
