Creating a more inclusive broking industry subscribe A A The need to create a more inclusive broking industry is more important than ever, says inclusive leadership training coach Jane Counsel, as MFAA figures show the proportion of female brokers has reached a new low. The third edition of the MFAA’s Opportunities for Women 2020 report, released on International Women’s Day (8 March), shows that the proportion of female brokers in the industry has fallen to below 27 per cent for the first time. According to the MFAA figures (based on aggregator gender information), there were 3,267 female brokers in the industry as at March 2020 – or 26.9 per cent of all brokers – 0.3 percentage points down on September 2019 figures.
