We have all heard of the difference in 1 between women and men, but
according to a new report, the difference begins in early childhood, with boys in the UK receiving
20% more 2 than girls do.
Research shows boys get more money than girls even from a very young age, probably because
they simply 3 more. Not only do girls receive less money, but they also have
less financial independence, are less likely to receive regular payments, and are more dependent on
others to buy 4 for them. Boys get an average of £10.70 per week from pocket
money or payment for 5 around the home, while girls of the same age receive
an average of only £8.50. As children get older, the gap between the figures grows larger, reaching
30% at age 16.
Giving children financial autonomy from an early age is important for their development, but while
boys are more likely to be given regular 6 handouts, the research says the
parents of girls are more likely to hold on to their daughters’ money and hand it over when it is
required.
