from Part VI - Intellectual Property Social Justice in Global Perspective: Issues in Gender and Development Disparity
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 January 2024
The music industries in the United Kingdom (U.K.) have seen several damning reports in the last few years. The 2019 report “Counting the Music Industry: The Gender Gap” paints a bleak picture,1 where most signed artists by major (traditional) record labels and music publishers in the U.K. are male. U.K. music publishers have in the reported period signed 12,040 writers, out of which only 14.18 percent are women. In similar vein, female musicians make up only 19.69 percent of the rosters of the acts signed to music labels.
