Life Model Pay Is A Feminist Issue

Most professional life models are women.

​

Life modelling is sessional, ad hoc and largely part time, a pattern of work which is attributed to women more than men.

​

More women than men have caring duties which often necessitates part time or 'gig' working.

​

Part time or 'gig' workers have little or no pension provision; lesser paid roles in lower-paying industries will always result in smaller pension pots.

​

Employers are rolling out auto-enrolment pension schemes but life models will not qualify because they will almost always never work enough hours with one employer.

​

Women tend to live longer than men and so it is of particular importance that they perform financial self-care and forward planning.
