10,000 British companies have revealed their gender pay gap More than three in four of them pay men more than they pay women See more 👉
This is what it looks like when we reorder the companies by the size of their gender pay gaps.
The ones at the top and bottom have reported the biggest difference between what they pay men and women.The ones closest to the middle have the smallest pay gaps, for instanceThe average pay gap reported is 9.6%, meaning that for every £1 the average man earns, the average woman takes home 90p. This means the gap has barely moved from last year, when it was 9.7%.
The gender pay gap doesn't tell us if women are being paid less for the same job, something which has been illegal for decades. But it does let us size up the differences in men and women's occupations and working patterns. Women are much more likely to work part-time, and are under-represented in senior roles.Why? High-paid pilots are almost exclusively men, while women predominantly work as lower-paid cabin crew.all have pay gaps of at least 40%.
Let's look at the banks. The finance and insurance sector has one of the widest pay gaps. Women working in this sector are paid 22.9% less than men.all report pay gaps of close to or above 40%.What happens when we look at the pay gap in individual sectors? All sectors, on average, pay men more than women. But looking closer at how pay differences stack up reveals that some sectors are more equal than others.
