BASIC HIGHLIGHT INCORRECT WORD 5

Young women are struggling to rise above a "sticky floor" at office amid a gulf in financial confidence between them and young men that leaves one in four clinging to jobs they don't prefer, research suggests. British women aged 18 to 30 are worrying more about money, are more likely to feel their financial situation is getting worse, and more likely to be able to afford food or other essentials than young men of the same age, according to a survey of about 5,000 young women, shared with the Guardian. The snapshot of divergent financial fortunes for the two sexes comes despite progress in closing the pay gap for younger women and more women breaking through glass ceilings at work, said Claire Reindorp, the chief executive of Young Women's Trust, which carried out the research. Last year, the largest increase in the gender pay gap was among employees aged 30 to 39 years, where it increased from 2.3% to 4.7%, official figures show.
