Female bosses are more fair when determining salaries

Women managers are more fair when determining salaries for their subordinates, but they are also more reserved when it comes to a wage raise, a survey published in the magazine of the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) shows.

A difference in salaries paid to the employees of different sexes in companies managed by women is reduced from 85 to 30 percent, it is said in the survey published in the daily Le Figaro.

However, women are stingier when determining the general amount of salaries because, according to the results of this survey, salaries in companies ran by female bosses are 2.5 to 3 percent lower on average than those in companies headed by men.

Women are 35 to 42 percent successful in getting consent for a salary raise for their subordinates, while men succeed in 55 percent of cases.
