84% of women in broadcasting...

...are childless. I'm sorry, I know it's another statistic. But I just wanted to throw that one in here. EIGHTY-FOUR per cent. Shocking. Not very representative of the population as a whole, is it?

Not surprisingly. the same survey (carried out by Broadcast magazine in November) reported that nearly 70 per cent of junior roles are filled by women, with approx 80 per cent of managing director/CEO positions going to men.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that if women are leaving the industry to have children (because they clearly can't have them while working in it), then they're not going to stick around long enough to become CEOs.

Shame, isn't it?
