*19% of the industry workforce is female, compared to the UK average of 45%
**Women tend to be under-represented in more technical roles, such as technical development (9%), in audio, sound and music (7%) and in creative development (5%).
**Women tend to be better represented in more business-oriented roles, such as legal (56%), business management (36%) and distribution, sales and marketing (31%).
**In the strategic management roles, women are represented more (27%) than the industry average but still less than the average across the UK workforce. ([https://creativeskillset.org/about_us/research/creative_skillset_employment_survey_2015 Creative Skillset], Apr 2016)

*4% of the industry workforce is from BAME groups, lower than the UK average (10%) and much lower than the London average (35%). Considering the industry’s concentration in London (37%), this highlights the underrepresentation of these groups.
**Representation for BAME groups is low in art and design (2%), animation (2%) technical development (2%) and production (2%) and is reported at 0% for content development roles.
**BAME groups tend to be represented better in legal roles (11%) and in strategic management positions (13%), both above the UK average but still below the London average for these groups.
