LONDON -- The movie sex videogender pay gap doesn't just affect adults in the world of work; it's also affecting children and the amount of pocket money they receive.

The survey -- which involved over 1,200 children and 575 parents -- found that boys on average received £6.93 per week, whereas girls receive just £6.16.
This is a considerable increase on the pocket money pay gap figures shown in last year's survey.
While last year's figures showed that boys were earning more than girls, the difference was just 2%, meaning the pay gap is actually getting worse for children.
What's more: the survey found that boys are also more likely to believe they should earn more pocket money. 44% of boys feel they should be getting more money, while 39% of girls feel they should earn more.
The survey also revealed that the average weekly allowance parents give to their kids has risen to its highest level in nine years, and it nows stands at £6.55.
Figures released by The Fawcett Society show that adult women are earning 14.2% less than men; a figure that isn't all that far off the pocket money pay gap.
