      Male models earn 75% less than female models



The gender pay gap for male models and their female counterparts is gigantic. A well-known modeling agency has claimed that male models are paid as much as 75 per cent less than female models. Elizabeth Rose from the UK's Premier Models said women could be paid £40,000 ($52,000) for appearing in a top fashion show, while men could only  get  £10,000  ($13,000).  Ms  Rose  said:  "I think  it's the  only  industry  where  men  get paidless  than  women.  It's  unfair  for  men, wouldn't say it's female empowerment."

Rose says the situation is slowly changing and pay is getting better for men. She explained that advertisers are more willing to promote men's products  as men  are  getting  more  into  fashion. She said: "More and more, male models are being used for grooming products. Men are taking a lot more care of themselves  generally  in the 2000s. It's fine to take a long time doing your hair. It's fine  [for  men]  to  use  moisturizer  [and]  wear make-up."  One consolation  for men is that they are  able  to  work  as  a  model  for  longer  than women.  Rose  said:  "Men  have  a  longer  career path, definitely.  The male models that make the most  are probably  in their  30s."  Female  models tend to make their money in their twenties.

The reality is that "The" models earn much more than "The" models because the female fashion market is much larger than the male. On average, women spend at least two, three, four or more than men on clothing and accessories. With such large investments, demand for "The" models that look better or have the "Look" of the moment increases and producers of clothing and designers have to pay more to be able to hire them. Additionally fashion magazines such as Vogue, Elle, Pandora, Oh etc. Have a tremendous influence on the purchase decision for women.

What are the good and bad things about models?
